Hiking in Lugano - Monte Brè

What a view it was at the top! This hike was absolutely fantastic. We chose to take the funicular railway to the top and walked down through Monte Brè, Gandria and back to Lugano. 

You will find more information below! 

We walked to Cassarate (see map), from there we took two funiculars. You can find the timetable and prices her.  We went in the morning and startet our journey with a cappuccino at the Camino Ristaurante. Then we walked down to Monte Brè and followed the path down to Gandria. It is quite steep going down, so we recommend good shoes :). We used 1 hour to Gandria. 

Gandria is a beautiful little town. There you will find several restaurants a very nice church, narrow little streets and fantastic houses. You can chose if you want to take a boat from there to Lugano. Or like us, walk bak along the lake. 

We spent the rest of the day on the beach at the Lido di Lugano. :D
