From Miglieglia the modern cable car climbs 848 meters to the Monte Lema (1624m). The ride takes 10 minutes. There are three cabin groups ascending the mountain, offering room for 45 persons, while the three other cabins descend.
In the summit area next to the mountain station you will find a mountain restaurant and an observatory. From the peak you can admire the surrounding mountains of South Ticino, Lake Lugano on one side of the ridge and Lago Maggiore on the other side.
The summit region is popular not only with hikers. It is also ideally suited to Mountainbike tours. The four- to five-hour mountain hike to Monte Tamaro is legendary.
