A spectacular full loop around Lake Lugano, combining lakeside cycling, charming villages and Mediterranean atmosphere. Starting from our shop in Lugano, we follow the shoreline south towards Paradiso and Melide before crossing into Italy and riding along the quieter eastern side of the lake.
One of the highlights is the postcard-perfect village of Morcote, often considered one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, with its arcaded waterfront and Santa Maria del Sasso church overlooking the lake.
The route continues through scenic lakeside roads, forest sections and panoramic viewpoints before returning to Lugano. Ideal for road bikes or e-bikes, this tour blends sport, culture and breathtaking views in one unforgettable ride.
