    Historical meeting point on the slopes of Monte San Giorgio on an original alp surrounded by centuries-old chestnut trees. Fantastic view of Lake Lugano.

      A quiet place to admire the view and where to find refreshment (the grotto restaurant is open during the summer). Here there are two ancient trees.

        Alpe also known for the monumental chestnut trees that shade the square of the Grotto.
        The two largest are surrounded by fences to avoid trampling and possible damage.
        Estimated age over six hundred years, the circumferences at the chest of a man: 1130 and 930 cm.
