« Monte San Salvatore (height 925m) is the highest mountain in Lugano and perhaps the most breathtaking. From its stunning southern slopes, you can enjoy endless panoramic views of Lake Lugano and its surroundings, while the western side offers a beautiful glimpse of the Alps.
In 1200, pilgrims trekked to the summit of San Salvatore to pay homage to the Son of God, who, according to an ancient legend, spent some time here before ascending to heaven. Since 1890, you can reach the top via a funicular from Paradiso.
At San Salvatore, you can explore a via ferrata route, visit the geology museum, stroll through the azalea garden, check out the San Grato Botanic Park in Carona, and embark on a three-hour hiking trail through the mountains to the charming suburb of Morcote. 🌄✨ »
