Stresa–Alpino–Mottarone Cable Car

First opened in 1970, the aerial tramway connects Stresa, located on the shores of Lake Maggiore, to the summit of the Mottarone mountain.

[1] The Stresa–Alpino–Mottarone Cable Car begins at the Lido di Carciano piazza on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Stresa.

The tramway then ascends approximately 2,625 feet (800 metres) to the village of Alpino [it], where an intermediate cable car station and the adjacent Giardino Botanico Alpinia are located.

[2] The second half of the Stresa–Alpino–Mottarone Cable Car continues from Alpino to a station just below the summit of Mottarone, a mountain peak in the Western Alps.

[2] Without stops, the trip from Lido di Carciano at Lake Maggiore to the top of Mottarone takes about twenty minutes and rises 1385 metres.
