San Grato Botanical Garden

Highlight • Natural Monument

The park stretches along the upper slopes of the 835-meter-high Monte Pescia, extending considerably in length and height over approximately 200,000 square meters. It offers a wealth of flowers, shrubs, and trees, as well as a wealth of art objects. In addition, there are repeated magnificent views of Lake Lugano and the opposite mountain ranges to the east, with Monte Generoso as the highest peak. To the west, there are magnificent views of the Valais Alps, including the Monte Rosa massif.

View of Lake Lugano

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is free parking in Carabbia. However, it is limited. You have to be there early. But an ideal starting point for circumnavigating the Abostora via Torello.

Imposing and rich decorated 17th century church. The plan has the shape of a Latin cross, with a single nave and two side chapels. From the hill you have a fantastic panoramic view of the Lago Lugano.

Church of Santa Marta

Highlight • Religious Site

From the main street of the village of Carona, a short walk leads to the Romanesque church of Santa Marta, which stands on a hill and was expanded and remodeled towards the end of the 17th century. The original building forms the atrium of the current church. On the façade you can see the remains of a fresco depicting Saint Christopher. The single-nave church has two side chapels and a choir, which is separated from the nave by the main altar. The right side chapel is decorated with frescoes from the second half of the 15th century, which can be attributed to Cristoforo da Seregno.
