Natural wonders

Lake Lugano is a famous tourist site in Lugano. The lake has a surface area of 48.7 square kilometers, with 63 percent of it in Switzerland and 37 percent in Italy. It has an average width of around 1 kilometer and a maximum width of approximately 3 kilometers. The lake's greatest depth is 279 meters. The water is typically warm, with average summer water temperatures ranging from 19.5 °C to 24.0 °C.

On the lake, several firms offer tourist boat services. A typical boat trip is to the beautiful lakeside town of Gandria. There are also several shipyards, water taxis, and boat rental locations throughout the lake, as well as hotels and restaurants that provide moorings. Bathing in the lake is permitted at any of the approximately 50 bathing facilities located along the Swiss shoreline.

In addition to the lake, Lugano is surrounded by mountains, which provide a variety of sports and sightseeing possibilities. Two mountains, one on either end of the town's shoreline, provide magnificent views over the town and lake. To the north, Monte Brè is said to be Switzerland's sunniest point, and it also houses the historic hamlet of Brè. To the south, Monte San Salvatore features an ancient chapel and museum atop its peak. Both mountains are accessible through funicular trains, which may be reached via a frequent town bus or by vehicle.
