Take the funicular up to the top of Mount San Salvatore in only 12 minutes and enjoy amazing 360-degrees views over the beautiful scenery. The mountain rises majestically to the skies. Admire the panorama first from the different lookouts and then from the exclusive Capodoro terrace where you’ll find out more about the mountain thanks to geographical satellite maps.

Enter the San Salvatore Museum on the summit which once formed an ancient hospice providing shelter to the poor and travelers. Visit the rooms and discover a precious collection of rare religious art that illustrates the history of the Confraternity over the centuries. See an exhibition on the region’s rocks, minerals, fossils and speleology and find out more about the history of the lightning research center.

Experience unforgettable moments on Mount San Salvatore: if you're interested in gourmets, culture, and nature, this is the perfect spot for you! If you're a sports enthusiast, you can descend down along the hiking trails to Ciona, Carona, Melide, Morcote, Pazzallo and Paradiso. Enjoy a walk through the unspoiled and regenerating landscape with several lookout points offering magnificent panoramic views.

    Sinceramente ci immaginavamo qualcosa di “speciale” compreso nel biglietto Musement, che invece corrisponde all’esperienza e al costo in loco senza alcunché: peraltro, a 35 franchi, potete comprare il biglietto salita + pranzo direttamente in funicolare!!! Il Monte è stupendo

    Friendly & helpful staff. Spectacular scenic views of Lake Lugano & surrounding area. Suggest adding more information regarding parking. Was unaware that a token was required until we were at the exit gate.
