Funchal Cable Car - Monte Wicker Basket Sled

Above all enjoy the ride - From the cable car, hovering over the city, where buildings rise alongside gardens and kitchen-gardens, you can enjoy Funchal’s amphitheatre and bay in a scenario of blues, greens and oranges.
The Monte Toboggans originated in the early 19th century as a form of public transportation from Monte to Funchal. Today, they transport thousands of tourists annually, offering a historic ride with stunning views.
Starting at the Monte Church, the ride complements the ascent by cable car. Monte, a picturesque village once a health resort for Europe's elite, is known for its gardens and breathtaking views of Funchal.
The 2 km ride, reaching speeds of 40 km/h, ends in Livramento, a Funchal suburb, where you’ll find souvenir shops, a bar, and access to taxis and buses.
