Vicania Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

If the weather is nice, if you want to make a stopover to eat at the Ristorante Vicania, you should reserve in advance. Super location on about half of the circular hike from Carona.

Santa Maria del Sasso

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

The church of Santa Maria del Sasso in Morcote impressively towers over Lake Lugano. It is accessible via a long staircase with around 400 steps, leading through narrow alleys and past chapels. The climb is worth it: at the top, a magnificent view of Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains awaits visitors. The church dates back to the 15th century and impresses with artistic frescoes and a calm, spiritual atmosphere. It is a popular destination for hikers, pilgrims, and anyone wishing to combine culture and nature in Ticino.
