You can reach the funicular station either by car or from Lugano in approx. 15min. via train (every 30min.).
The funicular takes you up to 1500m where you will see another impressive church from Mario Botta.
Enjoy the sun from the restaurant terrace and have something to eat & drink.
For the hike to the top you need moderate to good condition (min. 80min. upwards); it's a stony path.
Botta fans will love the church Capella Santa Maria degli Angeli and how it is placed on the mountain. It offers beautiful views and many different staircases, corridors and view points. A very special building.
Other monuments / buildings by Mario Botta:
- Monte Generoso (Ticino) «Fiore di pietra»
- Restaurant Botta 3000 (Gstaad; Les Diablerets)
- Tour de Moron: 30m high tower offers great views (Moutier)
- Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista (Ticino; Valle Maggia): this little church is very special. With no windows all light comes from the glass roof. Its construction of white marble and granite offers an interesting interplay.
