About
Бързи факти: Snaking up the hillside in two colorful cars, the short route stretches about 555 meters while climbing roughly 160 meters, offering a compact but dramatic ascent. Local commuters and sightseers alike hop on for the roughly three-minute ride, which frames sweeping views of tile roofs, vineyards, and distant foothills.
Акценти: Step into a varnished, timber-paneled cabin and you'll notice the satisfying mechanical rhythm as the two counterbalanced cars glide past each other at the single midpoint passing loop. Look closely at the upper platform and you'll find a small, time-smoothed plaque and the bright echo of a brass bell used during local festivals, a tactile and sonic detail that often surprises first-time riders.
Insider tips
- Bring a light jacket, wind can be stronger on the upper terrace.
- Stand on the left side when ascending for the best valley views, and on the right when descending.
- Buy a return ticket at the lower station and then wander the Piazza without worrying about timings.
- Avoid midday weekends if you want quieter photos; early morning or just before sunset is best.
