A fun trip. Bus 61 or 68 or tram 15 (1.50 euro) to Saasi-Superga. Finucular (9 euro round trip) to the top, short walk to Basilica. Stunning views of Torino. From here there are walking paths that seem to go many km. The funicular returns once per hour on the half-hour. I did not go in the Basilica, but doing so might extend your stay at Basilica to 2 hours, which in my opinion is too long. Behind the Basilica is a small monument to the AC Torino soccer team that perished in a plane crash. There is a nice wooded path to walk to/from the funicular station to Basilica (15 minutes). The bar at the station has drinks, ice cream, and snacks. Altogether, a good 2-3 hour trip.
5. Alpyland Mottarone
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 896 reviews
Alpyland is located at the peak of Mottarone and consists of a 1.200 meters long rail track, which boasts a 360 ° view of Alps, the surrounding lands and seven lakes. Similar to a roller coaster, the run develops with curves, bumps, changes of slope and a height difference of 100 meters. The two-seat bobsleighs are equipped with a manual braking system which the passenger can use to adjust the speed to his liking and a selective braking system that slows down all bobs at the end of the descent. Open both in summer and winter, Alpyland is fun for everyone, at any age!

We were a group of 8, aged 9 to 50 and we all loved it. The views are breathtaking, we all had the urge to belt out a bit of julie Andrew's the hills are alive;) The alpine slide is brilliant fun, definitely have at least 2 Go's each.We used a groupon 40% off voucher so great value for money, and a fantastic day out. Recommend a 100% for a afternoon out.

We visited the summit at Mottarone en route from Stresa to Orta . The views during the drive up were fabulous but these were surpassed easily by those from the top. 360 degree views of all the lakes and other mountains .There were also a decent selection of cafes and restaurants available Well worth a visit even outside the winter ski season . If your brave enough there’s also the Alpyland Toboggan ride - a rollercoaster hanging off the side of the mountain !
