Guide to Italy's Lake Maggiore

"This cable car whisks visitors from the lakeside up to the summit of Mount Sasso del Ferro, where views of the snow-capped Alps, the lake, and the hugging shoreline are expansive; there’s a summit restaurant and options to hike or ride back down. Acrophobics take note: “This quirky cable car carries passengers, two at a time, in open or closed metal baskets that are not for the faint of heart.”" - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.

The views are world-class, and the lift itself is quite unique compared to others I've seen. Can't say much about the restaurants since I didn't try them, but judging by the prices I saw, the mountains weren't the only thing that was high. Cons: Long queues in the full sun before the ticket counter - some kind of shade would be a welcome addition. Only one ticket counter open. No separate entrance for those who purchased tickets online.

This is without doubt the longest cable car ride I have taken. As the buckets only hold two people and some are enclosed which nobody wanted to use as it was very warm it took 20 minutes to get on the ride. I did not time the ride but it must be a least 15 minutes and takes you nearly to the top of the mountain. Views of the lake were spectacular and the was a nice cafe at the top where we had a lunch of toasted paninis and drinks. We were based in Stresa and caught the ferry to Intra and then caught the car ferry across to Laveno ( which runs every 20minutes). The staff were very helpful and slowed the bucket when it was at the top making getting off and on very easy. A fun day out.

Food and drink very expensive at the “snack bar” with a very very poor choice. (NOT the restaurant)) Staff were exceptionally miserable and didn’t care. Yes, I’d ride the cable car again, it I would certainly just take my own food and drink next time. Staff need a lesson in customer service.

One of the best activity we did during the trip. Ok... it’s a lot like any chairlift in a ski resort but the fact that you’re in a kind of garbage can facing Lake Maggiore brings it up a notch!! If you’re afraid of heights you might want to rethink your plans because the ride takes about 20 minutes. It’s very steep and some people will not enjoy it. For all the others that enjoy a bit of spark in their life this is for you!! On top of the ride, you can enjoy a magnificent view when you reach the top. You can have a beer at the restaurant and have one of the nicest view you will ever get.

Incredibly beautiful views from the high Alps north of Lake Maggiore to the southern end, on nice clear days the skyline of Milan can also be seen.

Food is INCREDIBLY expensive and our waiter wasnt friendly. The only thing nice here is the view. We also had to wait nearly 30 minutes in the line to leave.

We were on a school trip here. We spent a couple of hours walking up the mountain, rhe path itself was easy to find and follow. All in all a nice trip
