Hike to Monte Boglia and Dinner in Lugano

Hoping for good weather this Sunday, we’re heading up Monte Boglia in Lugano. From Cassarate, we’ll catch the funicular to Brè and follow scenic forest trails along the Swiss-Italian border, taking in sweeping views of Lake Lugano, Valsolda, and the Alps before hiking back down.

Back in Lugano, we’ll toast the day with dinner and drinks at a cozy local spot.

Please note: Because the clocks change on Sunday night, it will be easier to get up in the morning. That’s why we start at 7am this time.

Please also note: There is a special offer for the SBB ticket: https://www.sbb.ch/de/kampagne/tageskarte-fuer-2.html
