Beginning at the Lugano railway station, this walk leads through the city and along the shores of Lake Lugano toward Gandria, combining urban spaces with lakeside scenery and natural surroundings. The route reveals a quieter side of Lugano, where the connection between the city and the lake shapes everyday life.
Along the way, pathways, waterfront areas, and hillside views reflect the character of the region and its Mediterranean influences. The transition from the busy city centre to the historic village atmosphere of Gandria creates a varied experience that highlights both nature and local heritage.
This tour offers a gradual change in pace, moving from the transport hub and cultural areas of Lugano into one of the region’s most traditional lakeside settlements.
