Hiking
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.
