I recommend the complete tour of Lake Lugano by bike, leaving the car in one of the towns overlooking Ceresio you can complete the tour in between 4 and 8 hours. Continuing to cross the various borders between Italy and Switzerland several times, the tour offers ever-changing and breathtaking scenery

Monte San Giorgio is a wonderful 1097 m peak located in the Mendrisiotto area. From the top you can perfectly observe the entire Ceresio area and the city of Lugano, a true marvel.

On Monte San Giorgio you will find yourself in a bivouac where you can stay sheltered, there are drinks and water inside the bivouac, which are not free! There is a box where you can leave money for what you take.
