At the first stop is botanical garden available and it is ok. Still at the top of Mottarone nothing interesting is available and is not good place of panorama view available. More

Excellent views of the lake and a really smooth ride! Even though I was a bit scared! Enjoyed Alpyland at the top of the mountain too! Just make sure you put enough time on your parking ticket at the bottom if you're driving to the station!! More

Definitely a must-do activity. The cable car is fun to ride and very scenic on the way up. It has two stops, one at the botanical garden and one at the very top. Botanical garden itself is just average, but there is a rest/bench area, which provides a breath-taking view over the lakes, and this makes it worth while. It... More

Although showing signs of age, having never been on a cable car before it was exhilarating, going from sunshine to snow as we climbed the mountain.Staff all friendly and helpful, great value for money. More

We turned up to take the Cable Car up to Mottarone, parked, paid 10 Euros into the parking machine and wandered over to the Cable Car building to buy our tickets. Quelle surprise! The chap there blithely informed us that the car was not running that day as they were doing some maintenance - would it have been too much... More

We did the whole deal: Stresa - Mottarone via cable car and then the hike (5-6km) down the mountain. It cost ~12 Euros pp + 2 Euro card deposit. Admission also goes towards the chair lifts from the top of Mottarone to the summit (another 300 meters up). The hike down took 3 hours (as advertised) and was well worth... More

Downhill biking, a great track but the cable car up is very expensive. Costs more then a days ski pass in Switzerland at top resort! More
