Inaugurated on 29 August 1934, the cableway is the only facility of this kind in the whole of Liguria and allows you to arrive at the Sanctuary of Montallegro in just 7 minutes, after passing a difference in altitude of about 600 meters. With a capacity of 144 people / hour, it is an additional tourist attraction for the groups of pilgrims who come to visit the Shrine which recalls the apparition of the Madonna.

The ascent by cable car allows you to admire from above the intense blue of the Tigullio Gulf and a panorama of incomparable beauty, enchanting prelude to the oasis of peace in which we find ourselves on arrival at the mountain station of the cableway. Near the sanctuary there are many paths and a Via Crucis that winds along the ridge among the holm oaks, an ideal walk to enjoy peace, silence and fresh and clean air even in summer.

The Santuario Nostra Signora di Montallegro cableway is a cableway that goes from Rapallo to the shrine of Our Lady of Montallegro , in the province of Genoa .

The Società Anonima Funivia Rapallo-Montallegro was officially established on March 31, 1928 in order to connect Rapallo with the sanctuary of Montallegro , parallel to the projected carriage road. Two years later the works for the construction of the plant were commissioned to the Agudio di Leinì company ( Turin ) specialized in the construction of cableways. The inauguration took place on 29 August 1934 , but for the definitive opening to the public, completed the works, it was only on 1 September 1935

The valley station is located in Piazzale Solari - near the Betti district in Rapallo - and the mountain station just below the sanctuary, at an altitude of about 600 m asl. The pulling rope is 5000 m long; the horizontal length of the plant is 2275 m (inclined length 2345 m) for a difference in height of 600. The capacity of the cabins is 24 + 1 people.
