The funicular is composed of two separate and independent sections. The first section links the stops of Cassarate and Suvigliana and is only long. At Suvigliana passengers must cross the road to reach the lower station of the second, and significantly longer, section. This section is long, and is very sinuous with further intermediate stops of Albonago, Aldesago and Brè Villaggio. The first three intermediate stops serve the villages of Suvigliana, Albonago and Aldesago, all of which are on the western flank of Monte Brè, whilst the Brè Villaggio stop is linked to the village of Brè on the eastern flank by a long path.
