Funivia Monte Lema

About

At an altitude of 1,624 metres, the view sweeps endlessly and embraces the valleys of southern Ticino, Lake Lugano, the valleys of Luino and Lake Maggiore. The horizon stretches as far as the snow-covered Graubünden and Bernese Alps, the Valais peaks with their glaciers and the docile, swarming Po Valley. Monte Lema is an enchanting panoramic peak, the most impressive in Italian-speaking Switzerland, and a nature oasis from which a network of hiking trails follow the crest of the mountains and wind their way along the ridges. Thanks to its climate and conformation, Monte Lema is the destination for daring sportsmen, but also a perfect destination for families. The Lema is the ideal starting point for exalting the magic of paragliding or hang-gliding and experiencing nature trails and the thrill of free descents with a grappling hook.
