Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
February 12, 2026, Church of Santa Croce (Riva San Vitale)

This church has been entrusted to the local community not by one of the (almost countless) saints, but by "Santa Croce" (the Holy Cross). Perhaps a brief stop here is the perfect opportunity for hikers and walkers to offer a short meditation and a prayer to God. I would therefore like to invite you to prayerfully contemplate God's infinite love for us, revealed in Christ nailed to the wood of the cross. Perhaps a saying by the Spanish founder of the religious order, Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), might be helpful: "It is precisely where human hopes fall lowest that trust in God rises highest. For where all human help gives way, there divine help takes its place."

Pay attention to the closing times - after 9pm you will no longer be able to pass and you must use the Chiasso border crossing.

I recommend the complete tour of Lake Lugano by bike, leaving the car in one of the towns overlooking Ceresio you can complete the tour in between 4 and 8 hours. Continuing to cross the various borders between Italy and Switzerland several times, the tour offers ever-changing and breathtaking scenery
