View of Porlezza and Lake Lugano

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here the path becomes increasingly steep and narrow, slippery in wet weather in winter and autumn. Difficult climb to the top. Then also very difficult descent over narrow rocky paths, then wide but steep descent to the city

The lakeside promenade of Porlezza offers bars, restaurants and gelaterias at the northern end, and further south there are quiet benches under shady trees, and it continues to the bathing beach on the lake.
