Very average good and not good value, we spent €140 for a family of five and that's without desserts. The pizza was frozen and reheated and the burger had no bun or any salad/veg. Better food options at the bottom. But the views were fantastic and the bucket lift was great fun!

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.

Amazing experience! Well worth it. The view is amazing, the experience is unique. The baskets are sta ding up, 2 adults per basket. The route is long (15 - 17 minutes) but this means that you get a good look at the view and nature all around. Highly recommended, even if just for the experience, although we had fun on the peak as well!

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.

quite expensive for relatively simple food, but the view is more than worth it

The most spectacular view and great, local food. No touristy place and the drive there is quite an adventure ;)

We had a family party in the restaurant. Interesting and exciting cable car approach. Superb views great food and friendly service. Would recommended.

A little bit crammed in the cable car as only 2 people per car but the view from the top was amazing. Unfortunately the restaurant at the top only had strawberry ice cream available... could have been more stocked! Further to that you need to be able to continue going uphill if you want to savour in all the views so would recommend an early climb if visiting in Summer!

The waitresses are very friendly. Love the food amazing view. I would like to go back there soon.

Amazing view! The taste ist also fantastic! Price is a little high, but the portion is really huge, I don’t need dinner for tonight 😂 the the view, taste and huge portion, it absolutely deserves the price ☺️

The view is really impressive, but don't come when they are cloud or it's rain, except if you like to do some lovely out in the rain and drink hot chocolate in the restaurant at the top after taking the cute tiny chairlift

Stunning view over Italian Alps. Arriving by cable car is unusual and fun. Moreover, if you are lucky you can see people paragliding from the top.

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

Most beautiful view!! The food at the restaurant was very good! The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. We took the funicular up the mountain to the hotel. Great way to see the whole lake while eating some great Italian food!

A nice way to explore areas around Lago Maggiore using train & ferry.. Definitely worth it!!

A great way to experience local transport as well as have amazing views of mountains and the Lake at a reasonable cost

Leuke treinreis over enkelspoor door de bergen en langs kloven. (Translated by Google) Nice train journey on single track through the mountains and along gorges.

Highly recommend visiting this area and take the boat ferries to visit the various towns.

Great way to be on the water and to see the islands and the land.

+ Mooie tocht door bergen langs en over wilde rivier. + aansluiting op boot over meer - niet elke dag vaart de aansluitende boot over het meer (rondje stress trein naar lugano en San met boot terug is top) (Translated by Google) + Beautiful trip through mountains along and over wild river. + connection to boat across the lake - the connecting boat does not sail across the lake every day (the stress train round to Lugano and San with the boat back is great)

Top 👍🙂

Heel leuk. Mooie uitzichten. Boottocht erg lang. Vanwege de beperkte tijden, geen mogelijkheden om af te stappen. (Translated by Google) Very nice. Beautiful views. Boat ride very long. Due to the limited times, no options to get off.

Ok, not sure if really worth the time

Geweldige tour en lekker gegeten. Boottocht naar Locarno, smalspoortrein naar Domodossola en terug naar Baveno met de gewone trein. (Translated by Google) Great tour and delicious food. Boat trip to Locarno, narrow gauge train to Domodossola and back to Baveno by regular train.

Great trip!

(Translated by Google) This trip was a lot of fun! The costs are manageable and you can see an incredible amount. From the train station in Locarno you can take a narrow-gauge railway into the mountains. Attention: Be sure to sit on the left side in the direction of travel! The train winds its way into the mountains over tight curves, real inclines, over high viaducts and through many tunnels and you can see wonderful gorges, beautiful lakes and fantastic mountain villages. The pilgrimage church in Re, which we later drove to, is particularly worth seeing. Tip: take the train at 9.49 a.m. from Locarno, then you can get off in Re, see the church and then continue on with the next train. The journey goes to Domodossola. Here you take a “normal” train to Stresa. Tickets for the two trains can be bought opposite the train station in Locarno for €24/person. In Stresa you then take an excursion boat back to Locarno. This ship sails to all the islands of the lake. You can't get out due to time constraints, but you can still see an incredible amount. The boat trip takes about three and a half hours. It's relatively long - but you also see a lot. It costs 19€/person. Finally you end up back in Locarno. If, like us, you drove to Locarno, you can park to the left of the train station in a large parking lot for only around €14. We had feared that it would be significantly more expensive (Switzerland). All in all: a worthwhile day trip! (Original) Diese Reise hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht! Die Kosten sind überschaubar und man sieht unwahrscheinlich viel. Vom Bahnhof in Locarno geht es mit einer Schmalspurbahn richtig in die Berge. Achtung: in Fahrtrichtung unbedingt auf die linke Seite setzen! Über enge Kurven, richtige Steigungen, über hohe Viadukte und durch viele Tunnel schlängelt sich die Bahn in die Berge und man sieht herrliche Schluchten, schöne Seen und traumhafte Bergdörfer. Besonders sehenswert ist die Wallfahrtskirche in Re, zu der wir dann später auch noch mit dem Auto gefahren sind. Tipp: den Zug um 09.49 Uhr on Locarno nehmen, dann kann man in Re aussteigen, die Kirche ansehen und dann mit dem nächsten Zug weiterfahren. Die Fahrt geht nach Domodossola. Hier nimmt man einen "normalen" Zug nach Stresa. Die Fahrkarten für die beiden Züge kann man gegenüber vom Bahnhof in Locarno für 24€/Person kaufen. In Stresa nimmt man dann ein Ausflugsschiff nach Locarno zurück. Dieses Schiff fährt alle Inseln des Sees an. Man kann aus Zeitgründen zwar nicht aussteigen, sieht aber trotzdem unwahrscheinlich viel. Die Schifffahrt dauert etwa dreieinhalb Stunden. Das ist zwar relativ lang - aber man sieht auch viel. Sie kostet 19€/Person. Zum Schluss landet man wieder in Locarno. Ist man, wie wir, mit dem Auto nach Locarno gefahren, parkt man links vom Bahnhof auf einem großen Parkplatz für lediglich ca. 14€. Das hatten wir erheblich teurer befürchtet (Schweiz). Alles in allem: ein lohnenswerter Tagesausflug!

Very nice place along the lake

A little treasure! Don’t miss it!

(Translated by Google) A beautiful building at the center of attention and ongoing restoration which aims to recover the splendor of times gone by. The exhibition of Gio Ponti's porcelain and earthenware was pleasant and well organised; the ceramic museum of Laveno is practically in a state of semi-abandonment, or at least this is the effect it has.... Critical note for Google Maps: I would have published many more photographs of the vases with the famous women but every time they were censored for pornography🫣 (Original) Un bel palazzo al centro delle attenzioni e del restauro in corso che vuole recuperare lo splendore dei tempi passati. La mostra delle porcellane e terraglie di Gio Ponti piacevole e ben organizzata; il museo della ceramica di Laveno praticamente in stato di semi abbandono, O almeno questo è l'effetto che fa.... Nota critica per Google Maps: avrei pubblicato molte più fotografie dei vasi con le famose donne però tutte le volte sono stati censurati per pornografia🫣

(Translated by Google) The museum is undergoing renovation, fortunately, because the signs of neglect are evident, on the other hand it hosts a very pleasant exhibition with some of the pieces that Giò Ponti designed for Richard Ginori in the early 1900s. (Original) Il museo è in fase di ristrutturazione, per fortuna, perché sono evidenti i segni dell'incuria,in compenso ospita una mostra molto piacevole con i alcuni dei pezzi che Giò Ponti disegnò per Richard Ginori ai primi '900.

(Translated by Google) DEAR TRAVELERS 09/13/2020 Today I want to talk to you about this museum located on the Cerro on Lake Maggiore on the Varese shore, located inside the splendid Perabo' palace built at the end of the 1500s by the noble Guilizzoni family, which passed over the centuries between various owners in 1865 and was purchased by the noble Leopodo Bernabo' who he used it for noble social causes. In 1965 the building was purchased by the public administration. The building overlooks Lake Maggiore and has an imposing entrance door which overlooks the large courtyard surrounded by a large portico with colonnade located on the ground floor and on the mezzanine floor, both walkable from where you can access the exhibition rooms, here you can admire over the the frescoes and wooden coffered ceilings from the 1700s are also valuable ceramics, the view from the windows on the side facing the lake is very beautiful. In 1971, today's Museum was inaugurated with the aim of telling the history and production of all kinds of ceramics produced in the Laveno factories from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. At the ticket office, Carlo Alberto, a young local man, welcomes us and in 20 minutes tells us about the "life and experiences" of the Museum with a competence and enthusiasm common only to highly experienced artistic and historical communicators, a real added value, which is now rare in Public museums. Thus we begin the visit independently The collection is large both in number of pieces and in quality, the rooms are well organised, there is a lack of modernity in the dissemination system of the objects and works on display but just pay attention to the written explanations and everything is solved (F.B.L.). If done well, the visit lasts a good hour and the 5 euros spent on the ticket are worth it. As we say goodbye to the Museum, Carlo Alberto invites us to go to Laveno to Villa Fumagalli to continue the journey of the engraver artist Marco Costantini and the history of the local ceramic industry. What more can I tell you, go to Cerro and Laveno you will see places full of history, culture and beauty and don't forget that there is also the splendid funicular (bidonvia) that from Laveno takes you up to 1000 meters where you can see a breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore , Lake Varese and smaller lakes. And if Alberto says so, rest assured (Original) CARI VIAGGIATORI 13/09/2020 Oggi vi voglio parlare di questo Museo sito il Cerro sul lago Maggiore sponda di Varese posto all'interno dello splendido palazzo Perabo' costruito alla fine del 1500 dalla nobile famiglia Guilizzoni passato nei secoli tra vari proprietari nel 1865 fu acquistato dal nobile Leopodo Bernabo' che ne fece un utilizzo per nobili cause sociali. Nel 1965 il palazzo viene acquistato dalla amministrazione pubblica. Il palazzo si affaccia sul lago Maggiore ha un imponente portone di ingresso che affaccia sull'ampio cortile circondato da un grande portico con colonnato posto sul piano terra e sul piano rialzato entrambi percorribil da dove si accede alle sale espositive, qui si può ammirare olre le pregiate ceramiche anche gli affreschi e i soffitti a cassettone in legno del 1700, molto bella la vista dalle finestre nel lato verso il lago. Nel 1971 viene inaugurato l'odierno Museo con lo scopo di raccontare la storia e le produzioni di ogni genere delle ceramiche prodotte negli stabilimenti di Laveno dalla metà del 1800 sino alla metà del 1900. Alla biglietteria ci accoglie Carlo Alberto un giovane del posto che in 20 minuti ci racconta " vita e vissuto " del Museo con una competenza ed entusiasmo comune solo ai divulgatori artistici e storici di grande esperienza, un vero e proprio valore aggiunto, cosa ormai rara nei Musei pubblici. Iniziamo cosi la visita in modo autonomo La raccolta è amplia sia in numero di pezzi che in qualità, ben organizzate le sale, manca un po di modernità nel sistema divulgativo degli oggetti e opere esposti ma basta fare attenzione alle spiegazioni scritte ed è tutto risolto ( F.B.L.). La visita se fatta bene dura un'ora abbondante e 5 euro spesi per il biglietto li valgono tutti. Nel congedarci dal Museo Carlo Alberto ci invita ad andare a Laveno presso la villa Fumagalli per continuare il percorso della dell'artista incisore Marco Costantini e la storia dell'industria della ceramica de luogo. Cosa dirvi di più andare a Cerro a a Laveno vedrete del luoghi pieni di storia cultura e bellezza e non dimenticate che c'è anche la splendida funicolare ( bidonvia) che da Laveno vi porta fino a 1000 metri dove si vede un panorama mozzafiato del lago Maggiore, lago di Varese e laghi minori . E se lo dice l'Alberto stai certo

(Translated by Google) Beautiful! I went on a trip to this museum right on the lake....price starting from €6! If you pass by, come in to see vases and umbrella stands, ceramic services and sculptures with beautiful paintings.... (Original) Bellissimo! Sono stata in gita a questo museo proprio sul lago....prezzo a partire da 6€! Se ci passate entrate per vedere vasi e portaombrelli, servizi in ceramica e sculture con pitture bellissime....

(Translated by Google) The Museum's collection is interesting. Founded in the seventies, it is owned by the municipality of Laveno Mombello (located in the nearby hamlet of Cerro). The layout and educational apparatus are lacking: the simple use of QR codes could improve the visit and offer in-depth information. The room dedicated to the extraordinary figure of Antonia Campi is very beautiful. If you are in the area it is worth a visit! (Original) Interessante la collezione del Museo. Fondato negli anni Settanta è di proprietà del comune di Laveno Mombello (situato nella vicina frazione di Cerro). L’allestimento e l’apparato didattico carenti: il semplice utilizzo dei QR code potrebbe migliorare la visita e proporre degli approfondimenti. Molto bella la sala dedicata alla straordinaria figura di Antonia Campi. Se siete in zona merita una visita!

(Translated by Google) I don't like (Original) Non mi piace

(Translated by Google) I went on Sunday around 7pm. The idea is very beautiful and so are the statues. I expected it to be bigger and with more water features. Excluding the 5 stalls near the ferry station and a few lights there was little else to do. I recommend it if you are passing through. (Original) Sono andato domenica intorno alle 19. L'idea è molto bella e anche le statue. Me lo aspettavo più grande e con maggiori giochi d'acqua. Escludendo le 5 bancarelle vicino alla stazione dei traghetti e qualche luminaria c'era poco altro da fare. Lo consiglio se si è di passaggio.

(Translated by Google) The submerged nativity scene of Laveno is unique and exceptional. A tip: visit in the evening to enjoy it to the full, preferably on a windless day otherwise you won't see anything! (Original) Unico ed eccezionale il presepe sommmerso di Laveno. Un consiglio: da visitare alla sera per goderlo fino in fondo, meglio se in un giorno senza vento altrimenti non si vede niente!

(Translated by Google) I can say that it is wonderful and if you know the history you can imagine the dedication of the volunteers of the association who I know personally. Both the old and new volunteers are always ready to create new things to better welcome the tourists who come to visit it every year. (Original) Posso dire che è meraviglioso e se si conosce la storia si può immaginare la dedizione dei volontari dell’associazione che conosco personalmente, Sia i vecchi che i nuovi volontari sono sempre pronti a creare novità per meglio accogliere i turisti che ogni anno vengono a visitarlo.

(Translated by Google) There are many attractions during the Christmas period which, with markets and events linked to the magical world of Christmas, attract many tourists from every part of the world. Yet, while you may be spoiled for choice when it comes to Christmas markets and other attractions, there is a place where something truly magical and special happens every year. We are talking about the submerged Nativity scene, a meeting between water, history and art on the shores of Lake Maggiore. To be seen and reviewed every year. (Original) Esistono tante attrazioni nel periodo natalizio che, a suon di mercatini ed eventi legati al magico mondo del Natale, richiamano tantissimi turisti in ogni parte del mondo. Eppure, se per i mercatini di Natale e per altre attrazioni si può avere l’imbarazzo della scelta, esiste un luogo in cui ogni anno accade qualcosa di veramente magico e particolare. Stiamo parlando del Presepe sommerso, un incontro tra acqua, storia ed arte sulle sponde del Lago Maggiore. Da vedere e rivedere ogni anno.

(Translated by Google) You can hardly see anything.... Maybe because it had rained a lot in the days before.... I wouldn't go back anyway (Original) Non si vede praticamente niente.... Forse perché nei giorni prima era piovuto tanto.... Cmq non ci tornerei
