Share of the Soc. Funicolare Locarno–Madonna del Sasso, issued 30. June 1904
A concession to build the line was first granted in 1897 and renewed in 1900. Construction began in 1904, and the line was completed in 1906. The original wooden bodies of the cars were replaced with the current metal bodies in 1958.[1]
Besides the terminal stations at Locarno and Orselina, the line serves three intermediate stations at Grand Hôtel, Belvedere, and the Sanctuary, although the Grand Hôtel station is not currently served, as the hotel is closed. At Orselina there is a connection with the cable car to Cardada, which in turn connects with a chairlift to the summit of Cimetta.[2][3]
From April to October, the line runs every 15 minutes throughout the day. For the rest of the year, and during summer evenings, service is every 30 minutes.[4]
