The Monte Generoso Railway
The summit at an altitude of 1,704m is reached by a little cogwheel railway train, after travelling for some 40 minutes through unspoilt nature. From the top a 360° view can be enjoyed over the Lakes region, the Po Valley right over to the Apennines and the Alpine chain: from Gran Paradiso to Monte Rosa, from the Matterhorn to the Jungfrau and from the St. Gotthard massif right over to the Bernina ranges.
