Hike, drive, mountain bike, or take the cable car up to Monte Bre, considered one of the sunniest points in the country, with panoramic views of the nearby lake and surrounding mountains. If you drive to the summit, be prepared for many twists and curves, and be ready to stop for other cars, as the roads are very narrow. The cable car at the base of the mountain is accessible via local bus service. Be sure to check the website for the status of rail operations, since the cable cars can close in inclement weather. Make Monte Bre a centerpiece of your Lugano vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Lugano holiday builder website.

Great view of Lake Lugano and surrounding villages! Awesome sunset! Funicular ride was fun and very value-for-money.

We took the bus part up the hill and walked the rest using a service road which navigates gently upwards towards the summit. It was certainly more preferable then talking the stepped route from Bre...

Amazing view, specially if you go there in April or March there is always fog with beautiful view of the lake.
