Capolago, via Lüera 1


Are you passionate about trains or an insatiably curious person? 🚂

 

On June 9, 2025, the historic cogwheel railway of Ticino, one of the oldest in Switzerland, will take center stage in a special event. The Ferrovia Monte Generoso will host its first-ever open house for the public, and all rolling stock will be displayed in the square in front of the offices at Via Lüera 1, Capolago.

 

We’re waiting for you at the Capolago workshop! 

  • From 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM: A unique opportunity for people of all ages to discover what goes on “behind the scenes” at Ferrovia Monte Generoso.
  • Hop aboard the various trains to explore their workings and specific uses.
  • Guided by expert train drivers, you’ll relive the thrill of riding the historic 1890 steam locomotive with its Belle Époque-style carriage.
  • Marvel at the powerful snowplow, the carriage equipped for wheelchair users, and other essential vehicles used for the operation and maintenance of the railway line.

 

There will be prizes and games designed to entertain both adults and children. Interactive and engaging explanations will also be available, perfect for kids who want to learn while having fun!

 

Come and immerse yourself in the history and charm of this century-old railway. We can’t wait to see you!
