Monte Generoso is the mountain with the finest panorama in Canton Ticino. After a 40 minute train ride through beautiful unspoiled natural surroundings, you reach the mountain station "Vetta" at an altitude of 1,704 m, where a magnificent panorama opens up onto the lake and the Alps.
Here, high up on Monte Generoso, some rare flora and fauna from the last Ice Age still thrives. The mountain is a karst massif with a luxuriant outer appearance and a rambling grotto system in its interior. All sorts of activities are available from hiking and climbing to mountain-biking and hang-gliding, and from observation of the rich plant and bird life to cave exploration.
How to get there:
Monte Generoso is comfortably reached by cogwheel train from Capolago on Lake Lugano.
