A very special place. The pictures do not really do it justice and the view of a clear day is majestic. You almost feel you are on a plane. Getting here was quite a job through a long and very tortuous road but if you love your high aerial views then this is a must. If you have transport consider also going to near the cable car station at Pigra which has a more limited but similarly spectacular view of Como. Also the platform by the Swiss Flag seems to be a favoured toilet venue for the local goats so best have a sturdy pair of shoes to really comfortably enjoy the views.

Nice little place to visit. Good for children as also has bumper cars and mini train ride. Lots of miniature detailed Swiss landmarks and buildings that are quite interesting. Not a massive place though so can do in approx 1-1.5 hours. Cost to get in was 39 euros for two adults but we picked up their leaflet at the airport and if you present this you get a 5 euro discount.

5. FlyTicino - Paragliding Tandem Flights

At FlyTicino we organize wonderful paragliding flights in Ticino! We fly because we love paragliding and the joy of sharing emotions with our passengers. No stress, no thoughts about making as many flights as possible and no limit to the duration of the flight! By chasing the right thermal currents, we will try to extend the flight duration as much as possible, to climb in altitude and enjoy with our passengers views that are normally only reserved for the birds!

Flying with Federico is something I highly recommend to anyone who wants to try a new experience, while at the same time being in the hands of a professional and very friendly person - I felt so safe and comfortable with Federico. After me, a friend and my sister also flew with him and they still talk about it today, it was truly an incredible experience for us all. I would definitely do this again, thank you Federico :-)

Went up with my elderly-ish parents on the train, rather pricey train tickets(50+ Swiss francs for round-trip adult ticket, one way 40-45 mins journey, you do get some nice view from train trip).
If you're fit enough, definitely walk it! Lovely to walk in the Mountains, very nice view on the top which makes everything worthwhile.
Bar and restaurant at the peak which offers cold beer if that motivates one. Not cheap again of course (but not disastrous) but the experience is the most important.

Beautiful charming tiny church facing the lake. A romantic secluded spot ideal for a moment of prayer or to celebrate a wedding. Simply perfect, a must see, especially the beautfiful frescoes that are currently under restauration.
8. Chiesa di Santa Maria del Sasso

Reviewed By weberwest - Bellingham, Washington
Some 400 steps above the charming village of Morcote with its small alleys,ancient houses and waterfront quays stands this beautiful church dating back to the 13th century, rebuilt in 1462 in the Renaissance style and subsequently renovated with baroque style. Both the church and the adjacent Chapel Sant' Antonio do Padova (1676) with its unusual octagonal floor plan exhibit beautiful frescoes and carvings. There is a beautiful view from the church over Morcote, the Lago di Lugano and the surrounding hills, partially situated in Italy. The view gets actually even better if you climb the path behind the church up to a little square with a bronze statue of a Madonna. On the way up you get very good angles to photograph both the church tower and the lake. From the square on top you can also access the interesting cemetery (Cimitero Monumentale) and walk back to the village through the cemetery.

Il paesaggio è incantevole. Niente rumori del traffico. L'acqua del lago è più pulita della media grazie al fiume che scorre in mezzo alle sue spiaggette. Una bella musica di sottofondo proviene dal bar, dove fanno anche cocktail ed una buonissima griglia.

La galleria si trova a Melano ma in pratica dietro la stazione ferroviaria di Melano
Se si arriva con l auto ci sono parcheggi proprio davanti alla galleria.
Oggi è stata inaugurata una nuova esposizione di una artista russa che ha vissuto anche in Ticino: Marianne von Werefkin
Interessante colore e gesto di quadri datati d inizio 900, coraggiosi e poco femminili che mi sono piaciuti molto
Per l occasione è stata creato una ambientazione molto particolare! Sicuramente da vedere
