Randonnée de montagne expérience - intermédiaire

“You need to have been up there in person​,​ if you want to get an idea of its greatness and magnificence​,​ and then that moment will become one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences in your whole life.” C. C. Lorenz Hirschfeld. Enjoy a nice experience on the funicular which is unique for its techanical functioning and has been taking people up since the end of the eighteen hundred. From the summit​,​ after admiring the amazing view on lake Lugano and surroundings we can descend the panoramic footpath that leads to Ciona​,​ admiring the local flora along the way on this stretch of path​,​ which is particularly rocky over the initial section. The route proceeds across level terrain​,​ through the cool shade of the wood​,​ then follows a brief stretch of asphalt road leading to Carona​,​ well known for its San Grato botanical gardens​,​ just a few minutes from the centre of town. The trail carries on to Alpe Vicania along a wide​,​ flat​,​ shaded path which crosses Mount Arbòstora before reaching Alpe Vicania. Once arrived here you can have the possibility to have a snack and restore. from here​,​ you descend the steps close to the traditional lakeside village. Return to Paradiso by PostBus​,​ boat or train. Full day. Lunch and the funicolar ticket are not included in the rate. Please contact me for further information on the program and for other dates.
