WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Lema from Miglieglia

Two lakes from a single ridge, in Ticino.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Miglieglia, in the heart of the Malcantone, and climb a path through woods and ridgelines to the summit of Monte Lema. From up there an extraordinary view opens: Lake Lugano on one side and Lake Maggiore on the other, with the Alps closing the horizon. It is a varied, accessible loop, ideal for anyone who wants to take the mountains calmly.

5 reasons to come - Lake Lugano and Lake Maggiore from the same summit - the panoramic crest of Monte Lema - the woods and ridgelines of the Malcantone - a varied loop that never gets monotonous - an accessible mountain, just across the border

Who it suits An accessible climb on well-marked paths: normal walking fitness is enough.

A genuine day in Ticino: come with the Guidders.
