Funivia del Monte Faito

About

The Funivia del Faito is a classic Italian aerial tramway that has been whisking visitors from the seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia up to the summit of Monte Faito since its inauguration on August 24, 1952. The line spans 2,945 metres, connecting the coast with a peak of 1,092 metres, and boasts a steep maximum gradient of 60 %. Capable of transporting 36 passengers per cabin, the Funivia offers panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the surrounding Cilento hills, and the ancient Greek ruins nearby. Over the decades it has become a celebrated attraction for adventure‑seekers, families, and history enthusiasts alike—providing an easy, scenic gateway to the mountain’s hiking trails and the famed “Chasm of the Mad Eye” at the summit.
