Half day E-bike Tour in Valsolda, Lake Lugano with Lunch

This tour is perfect for anyone wanting to explore a little further off the tourist track but not wanting to commit to too many kilometers or uphills. Our destination today is the Valsolda, the valley that leads us to the Swiss town of Lugano. It is a rather forgotten valley that is full of hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. On our list today is the Santuario della Caravina, offering a spectacular balcony over Lake Lugano. We ride up cobbled walkways to the church entrance, and follow scenic verdant roads as we head to the village of Castello. Perched on a hilltop, it is one of the single best examples of an ancient Italian mountain village. The church of San Martino is affectionately referred to as the Sistine Chapel of Lombardy for it's beautifully frescoed dome. The lake views will not disappoint either. Our day would not be complete without dipping our feet in the crystal clear water of some rock pools we find along the way. We make a lunch stop in an atmospheric local restaurant before we hit the beach of Lake Lugano and enjoy the expansive views of the water and mountains. All that's left to do is finish with an easy ride home following the green fields and stables to Cardano.
