View of Lake Lugano

Highlight • Viewpoint

A photo that says everything you need to know. A beautiful view accompanies you throughout the entire run. My recommendation for the summer months is after 2100 p.m. then it is no longer so crowded and the light/temperature is simply wonderful 😉

Ciani Park

Highlight • Natural

Parco Ciani is a small jewel located a short distance from the center of Lugano and on the edge of Ceresio. The park is very popular with both the people of Lugano and tourists thanks to its tree-lined avenues, where statues, centenary trees and flower beds come together. The historic Villa Ciani is splendid.

Gandria Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Sentiero di Gandria or dell'Olivo is a beautiful route that connects Castagnola to Gandria, on the shore of Lake Lugano. The path, a few steps from the water, winds through olive trees and gardens. Absolutely worth doing.

Gandria Village on Lake Lugano

Highlight • Settlement

Gandria is a small but lovely village not far from Lugano and easily accessible on foot. It used to live off oil production and fishing, and today the picturesque village center is still intact.
Once upon a time there was a picturesque village on the banks of the Ceresio that lived off fishing and oil production. The village still exists, but it no longer lives off fishing and olive oil production alone. We are talking about Gandria, which today belongs to Lugano and is one of the most beautiful lakeside villages in Ticino. Its history goes far back into the past, and residential buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries with unique frescoes and stucco work can still be admired today.
