Active since June 1890, it is a historic cogwheel train that connects Capolago to the summit of Monte Generoso

the little train that takes you up to the generous mountain from Switzerland, much nicer to come up from the path like I did

We didn't see the train because it was closed, but the station is located at the foot of Mount Generoso
