An old funicular built in 1898 climbing 250 metres to an altitude of 1,250 metres with panoramic views.
It is quite simply the oldest electric funicular in France and, despite its old age, it continues to climb its 250-metre height difference. Built in 1898 and classified as a Historic Monument, this witness of the Belle Époque climbs to the Salon du Capucin, at an altitude of 1,250 m. You will appreciate the panoramic view of the Capucin peak. At the top, you can go on beautiful hikes: the Chemin des Mille Gouttes, the Chemin des Médecins, the Chemin des Artistes. You will also be able to treat yourself and warm up at the Salon du Capucin, or admire the view!

Ascension agréable en funiculaire, décors d'époque, bois qui craque, rideaux... Au sommet, peu d'indications pour les promenades. Toutefois, ballades agréables, ombragées.
Au sommet on y trouve toutes sortes d'activités sportives.

Original experience with the funicular des Capucins.
Departure is near the Tourist Office, very indicated on the control panels.
The ascent on the mountainside is very steep and you wonder how the funicular manages to climb ^ ^
Arrival at the top, it is possible to have many walks, small or large. I however recommend you ask for information beforehand on hiking routes because there is very little information about the funicular… A little sad.
A piece of advice: only buy the one-way ticket, you can make the return on foot in less than 30 minutes and via the funicular railway bridge in order to see the two trains crossing.

Montée en funiculaire pittoresque mais trop peu d'informations disponibles.
