Hiking

Morcote is a former fishing village on the shores of Lake Lugano. In the narrow streets, you stroll along the richly decorated facades of ancient patrician houses. Also worth seeing are the church of Santa Maria del Sasso and the beautifully landscaped Parco Scherrer with its typical Mediterranean vegetation.
