Scenic stretch of the lakeside path at Lake Lugano

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section that runs along the steep slopes at the edge of the lake plunges you into a world apart. A beautiful place to escape step by step.

Gandria Village on Lake Lugano

Highlight • Settlement

Gandria is a small but lovely village not far from Lugano and easily accessible on foot. It used to live off oil production and fishing, and today the picturesque village center is still intact.
Once upon a time there was a picturesque village on the banks of the Ceresio that lived off fishing and oil production. The village still exists, but it no longer lives off fishing and olive oil production alone. We are talking about Gandria, which today belongs to Lugano and is one of the most beautiful lakeside villages in Ticino. Its history goes far back into the past, and residential buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries with unique frescoes and stucco work can still be admired today.
