There is free parking in Carabbia. However, it is limited. You have to be there early. But an ideal starting point for circumnavigating the Abostora via Torello.

View from Monte San Salvatore

Highlight • Viewpoint

For me one of the highlights in Ticino. Fantastic all-round view and can be reached via shady forest paths in summer.

View of Lake Lugano and the city of Lugano from Monte San Salvatore.

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are many viewpoints on Monte San Salvatore, on the way down into the valley. But this is the only one where you can look directly at Lugano. It's a must-see!

March 28, 2026,Paradiso - San Salvatore - Morcote en boucle

A more 'touristy' walk for my second (and last) day in Ticino, with spectacular views of San Salvatore and a visit to the charming village of Morcote 🤩🥰

Once again lots of sun and a temperature of over 16 degrees 😎🌞
