Hike from Castagnola, near Lugano, to Albogasio, following mostly hiking trials and alleys in the small towns.

Start at the bus stop Castagnola Ufficio Postale and end at the bus stop Oria Paese. You can take bus C12 at both stops.

The hike is short, but quite interesting and diverse: you first follow the shore of Lago di Lugano, passing through old villages and then you proceed in the woody hills north of the lake with some nice views.
