The Gubbio Cable Car (Funivia Colle Eletto) is one of the most unique and exhilarating ways to experience the breathtaking scenery of Gubbio and its surrounding landscapes. Unlike traditional cable cars, the Gubbio Funivia features open-air, basket-like cabins that can accommodate two standing passengers each, offering an unparalleled panoramic view as you ascend. The cable car takes you from the base of the town, near the Porta Romana, up to the summit of Mount Ingino, where the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, the patron saint of Gubbio, is located. The journey, though short, is filled with stunning vistas of the medieval town below, the rolling Umbrian hills, and the vast countryside, making it a thrilling and memorable experience for visitors.

At the top, the adventure continues as you explore the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, home to the mummified remains of the saint and the famous Ceri, large wooden structures used during the annual Corsa dei Ceri festival. The area around the basilica offers several walking trails and spots for picnics, allowing visitors to soak in the peaceful surroundings and the spectacular views of Gubbio from above. The Gubbio Cable Car is not just a mode of transportation; it’s an essential part of the Gubbio experience, blending adventure, history, and natural beauty into one unforgettable ride.
