Description
The cable car runs from Miglieglia to Monte Lema. It runs every 30 min between April and the beginning of November, and every 60 min in bad weather. When the number of passengers is high, the cable car runs continuously. It consists of three coupled cabins and thus brings 45 people to the summit in just seven minutes.
- Bottom station: Miglieglia (717 m a.s.l.)
- Top station: Monte Lema (1566 m a.s.l.)
The valley station in Miglieglia is easily accessible by car (free parking) and by public transport.
