Here you hike along stairs and paved paths directly along steep cliffs. On the way you can enjoy beautiful views over the turquoise blue lake and get insights into romantic, hidden bays below you.

Hiking

The riverside path between Castaganola and Gandria presents itself as a postcard idyll in Ticino, in which a trip is worthwhile in every season.

Hiking

Great old village with lots of old houses and narrow winding streets. No traffic, only accessible on foot. Highly recommended is the beautiful footpath along the lake.
