Lugano

I took this photo from Monte San Salvatore in Ticino, Switzerland. It was a beautiful Spring moment! This spot gives great views of the mountains surrounding Lake Lugano! Usually, it is sunny and clear from here, but on that day, my only day on Monte San Salvatore, I got an atmospheric experience! And Monte San Salvatore is above the city of Lugano, so it's quite easy to get there!

Beautiful view on Lugano's lake from the top of Monte San Salvatore.  
It is possible to take a funicular to the top of Monte San Salvatore, and to hike down from there. Count 4h to get to Morcotte, voted most beautiful village of Switzerland in 2016. From Morcotte, you can take the boat back to Lugano.
