May 14, 2025,Carona–Alpe Vicania–Morcote

A visit to the southern canton. This hike started in Carona and took us through the enchanting Parco San Grato up to Alpe Vicania. From there, the trail climbed hundreds of steps to Morcote. We returned to Lugano by boat. It was a wonderful hike and boat ride.
