The lovely Rachel let us know, via another post, that the cable car is open again. She also sent this very useful link which gives the opening times and fares. It’s a bit complicated to work out, but the first column labeled ORARIO INVERNALE SCOLA operates during the school term (Sept 11th – June 10th approx) starting at 0640 and the second column, ORARIO ESTIVO, are the Summer holiday times, the first one leaves at 0830. The cable cars leave Pigra and Argengo at the same time and pass each other in the middle. By the way, there’s a gap in the service at lunchtime….molto Italiano!
The single adult fare is €2.90 and the return is €3.90. There are other prices shown including for a bicycle and also for an annual season ticket. As well as being a great way for tourists to see the lake, it’s a vital connection for the local communities.
We hope you enjoy your trip!
Hi
Please could anyone tell me where the cable car station is in Argegno, and also whether there is any car parking? if not, I will take the bus, which I believe stops in Piazza Roma. Presumably it is then just a short walk to the funivia?
Rachel
Hi Rachel, It’s a short walk on the north edge of town and I don’t think that there’s a lot of parking. We have usually taken the ferry from Nesso over to Argengo and then walked to the funivia. Where are you coming to Argengo from?
[...] other spots along the way. We passed by Argegno, where you can catch the cable car up to Pigra (the cable car reopened in June 2011) [...]
