A scenic lakeside walk leading to the historic heart of Gandria.
Overview of your Lugano tour
I'll take you through history and nature along the shores of Lake Lugano. This enchanting walk connects Castagnola to the romantic village of Gandria, winding through ancient terraced olive groves and Mediterranean flora. The path is an educational itinerary that retraces the history and botany of this precious plant, a cultural heritage of inestimable value. The experience concludes in the heart of Gandria, a perfectly preserved fishing village where time seems to have stood still. After exploring its narrow alleys and artistic legacy, enjoy a relaxing boat cruise back to Lugano, admiring the coastline from a different perspective
