Laveno Mombello circular walk with cable car – only suitable for small, sporty dogs!

ATTENTION! A large part of the route is very nicely paved with small cobblestones and you should definitely wear shoes with sturdy soles. These cobblestones are no fun for dogs either. Dogs are allowed in the Kübel cable car, but the dog should not be too heavy and should not panic. With our Colja, we only ever walk sections. We haven’t dared to take him on the cable car yet and he always chooses the unpaved edge on the section with the cobblestones. Maybe it’s also because of the delicious smells of all the pretty Italian fur noses that pass by every day.

TIP! As this hike is quite steep over a longer distance and there are only limited parking spaces available at the valley station, I recommend parking your car at the “parking lot for torrent visitors” and taking the desired direction from there (walk uphill and take the cable car down or walk downhill and take the cable car up). This way, you only walk part of the route first, can then rest a little in the cable car and then walk the rest of the route.

By car, follow the detour to the parking lot. The street “Via Vararo” is too narrow for cars in the lower section (from A to B, not from B to B)!
