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.

September 6, 2021,🇨🇭 Von Carona zur Alpe Vicania und zum Parco San Grato

Unfortunately the alp was closed. The beautiful view is almost only available at the lookout points. The forest obstructs the view, but also protects from the sun. Still a nice tour. The Parco San Grato and a tour of Carona are particularly worthwhile.
