Monte Bre, Lugano

Astonishing view, excellent place for nature lovers, there is a funicular that takes you to the top in minutes!

(+) Awesome views overlooking Lugano. (+) Fun funicular ride (not too expensive, 25 CHF pp both ways without half fare card). (+) Great Walking/ hiking/ biking trails. (-) The panoramic restaurant was not opened last weekend (9 January 2021), perhaps it's their opening schedule during winter time. (-) The osteria (bar/ cafe) up there was only offering limited drinks and also limited snacks (fries and sausages). perhaps it is different during summer time (will have to visit again for sure) (-) It would've been great if the funicular had panoramic windows (from the front) so that passengers can see the lovely views going up/ down. *** Most certainly would like to visit again, perhaps during summer time and take my time to walk down to near by small cute cities.

You can take the 12 bus to the top or walk or bike. I loved getting up there and went in the afternoon and again at night!

The view on the lake is amazing. Going up by foot is easy and it is not a long way.

It is so attractive and beautiful at the time of sunset. I come to the top by bus and walking, downhill by cable train. Very few people in weekdays
