    Hi Liza delena,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    To get to Monte Bre, you will need to travel on two funiculars. The first funicular is from Cassarate to Suvigliana. The second funicular takes you from Suvigliana to the summit. The first funicular is automatic. You don’t have to purchase your tickets until you get to Suvigliana.

    Regards,

    Hi Liza delena.

    It’s not free but you just purchase the tickets later in Suvigliana.
