| Once again, the 2024 summer season on Monte Generoso has come to an end, and to bid farewell to its loyal guests and welcome new ones, the Ferrovia Monte Generoso literally kicks off the dance with the Rock Night on Friday 25 October. In collaboration with the Radio Morcote team and the Alto Voltaggio concert will retrace five decades of songs from the 1970s to the present day.
On Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October it will be the long-awaited Circo Tonino that will welcome families, with the suspense of magic games, the fantasy of modelling balloons and the transformation of the skilful face painting for the kids. Among butterflies, superheroes, flowers and animals it will be an explosion of colours that will make the party even more special!
Entertainment hours: 11:45 a.m. / 1:45 p.m. / 2:45 p.m. / 3:45 p.m.
Mum and dad, but also friends and family can enjoy the spectacle of the panorama while sipping the aromatic mulled wine accompanied by a mountain of forest-scented roasted chestnuts!
New at the 2024 closing party: The Wheel of Fortune game will allow everyone to win many prizes and vouchers valid until the end of 2025, distributed according to availability and not combinable with other promotions.

In short, lots of surprises and fun for the enjoyment of young and old,’ confirms Chiara Brischetto, Head of Marketing, Communication & Sustainability of FMG, ‘but we have also thought about the special discounted price of 50% for the cogwheel lift from Capolago to the Vetta for both days. From 7 December, moreover, the winter season will start, and we will be open on weekends and every day from 24 December to 6 January 2025 with a 30% promotion on train tickets. In this way everyone, but really everyone, will be able to experience the magic enchanted magic of winter on Monte Generoso’.
At the end of the season, however, it is also time to draw conclusions and take stock. ‘They have been very difficult months for the entire tourism sector in Ticino due to the bad weather that left no respite,’ stresses Carolina Russbach, Head of Marketing, Communication & Digital at Monte Generoso, ‘and in particular for our destination, which focuses on hiking, outdoor activities and breathtaking views, always guaranteeing maximum safety for customers and employees. Despite this, we can say that our Camping Monte Generoso in Melano has been a real success, because both regulars and new customers have not been intimidated in the slightest, with a record sell-out in a few months. And our iconic grotto, the Buffet Bellavista, in its second year of operation, is very popular, and not just with local or passing hikers. There are many more than positive reviews on Tripadvisor and Google and enthusiastic articles in the press’.
In May, the Ferrovia Monte Generoso obtained the third level of Swisstainable, the prestigious certification awarded by Switzerland Tourism to tourist attractions that have made sustainability a real mission. ‘An important result for which we have worked hard,’ explains Chiara Brischetto, ’of which we are particularly proud, and which has significantly increased the target of environmentally aware and respectful tourists and customers. |
