WHY THIS HIKE

Wild Valsolda on Lake Lugano

Three paths in one, inside the Valsolda reserve.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders on a loop inside the Valsolda nature reserve, a full immersion in the most genuine country above Lake Lugano: woods, rock walls and panoramic paths woven into a varied, never predictable route. The itinerary joins three of the most interesting lines in the area: the Sentiero delle Quattro Valli, the striking Percorso nella Roccia and the wildlife trail. A mix of walking, exploring and discovery.

5 reasons to come - the Percorso nella Roccia, cut into the wall - the wildlife trail, for those who like watching - the Sentiero delle Quattro Valli - the Valsolda nature reserve, little known - Lake Lugano seen from a wild side

Who it suits A varied route with rocky sections: normal walking fitness and a sure step.

The wild side of Lake Lugano: come and find it with the Guidders.
