Itinerary
1
Monte Generoso
Standing at 1,704 meters, the summit offers a breathtaking 360° view spanning the Swiss Alps to the sparkling Italian lakes. It is famously crowned by the "Fiore di Pietra," a stunning architectural gem perched right on the mountain's edge.
2 hours and 10 minutes

Lake Lugano
We start the tour by boarding the train in Lugano and winding along the picturesque shores of the lake, where the deep blue water meets the lush, green slopes of the pre-Alps. This scenic stretch gives you a first-row view of the elegant villas and charming villages that dot the Mediterranean-style coastline.
