Camping at Lake Lugano

Camping at Lake Lugano

Switzerland and Italy share the enchanting Lake Lugano, which has a Mediterranean climate. Hiking trails in the hinterland lead through dense forests and unspoilt mountain villages. During a boat trip, holidaymakers get to see Monte Generoso and the magnificent façades of the patrician houses in Morcotes from a different perspective. The fossil finds on Monte San Giorgo, which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are unique.
