    To get to the cup (top) of Monte Brè, Pasturenzi and I bought two round-trip RailAway tickets in a cumulative service from Chiasso which includes: SBB train, funicular from Lugano railway station to the historic centre, trolleybus to Cassarate and funicular in two sections. If you arrive from Menaggio via Porlezza, from the Cassarate terminus to the valley station of the funicular it takes only a few steps to walk. Don't forget powerful binoculars!

    funicular to Monte Brè (2 single-track sections with Abt-type switches without needles at the central doubling): how many know that the famous Genoese Righi funicular takes its name from the Swiss Rigi rack railway? The pronunciation is identical.

    Navigation company on Lake Maggiore (Verbano): intermediate stops are allowed only on the Swiss basin, such as with trains and postal buses; on the Italian basin, once disembarked, the single journey ticket is no longer of any value and is non-refundable, the same with long-distance Italian trains. On the Locarno - Domodossola railway, in order to get on and off as you please in international traffic, you need a ticket at the FFS rate; the "Tourist" ticket allows one stop only.
