      Using the train with its baskets requires some effort

          Wonderful view over the lake and the surrounding area.
          In very good weather you can even see Milan.

            Warning: on the way out I followed the path as it was traced by another person. In the first hundred meters the path passes through some slightly exposed points, you have to go around trunks or roots in the initial phase, then you follow an old forest road to the top without problems. On the way back, I wanted to stay on the forest road until past the trail junction. On the other hand there is a sign that says the forest road is the recommended route. Except that halfway along the route there is a small valley that was dug by rain and debris Armenian deep at 2.5/3 meters and with a very steep slope. It is impossible to pass through there unless you climb about ten meters into the woods and then you can pass through there because with the earthy wall it is about one meter high. Then just go down through the woods for about twenty meters and return to the old forest road. Perhaps due to this landslide the route is very dirty and quite overgrown with brambles.

              Very nice hike. Demanding slope!

                There is a small café at the top from which the view can also be enjoyed.

                  Great view and the cable car is worth it, it's a great experience!
