The viewing terrace is located on an extension of the San Salvatore Chapel. It offers magnificent views of Lugano, Lake Lugano, and the surrounding mountains, such as Monte Brè (to the northeast), Monte Generoso (to the east), and Monte San Giorgio (to the south), as well as panoramic views of the Valais Alps to the west, including the striking, expansive Monte Rosa massif, on the border between Italy and Switzerland with its main peak, the Dufourspitze.
