Beautiful view on Monte San Salvatore from Lugano's botanic gardens.
It is possible to take a funicular to the top of Monte San Salvatore, and to hike down from there. Count 4h to get to Morcotte, voted most beautiful village of Switzerland in 2016. From Moroctte, you can take the boat back to Lugano.

Top Malcantone Hotel Reviews

LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hilton Lake Como

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent—clean, well maintained, and tastefully decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location was very convenient, whether using public transportation or exploring on foot. However, the sidewalks in the area are quite narrow, so some caution is needed when walking. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Como!!"
