Sustainability

When staying in a hotel, youth hostel or campsite, take advantage of the free use of public transport thanks to the Ticino Ticket. You will receive discounts on the Monte Brè, Monte Lema, Monte San Salvatore and Monte Tamaro lifts and funiculars, boats and the main tourist attractions.

The Lugano region offers you many options for discovering the area, from public transport to a magical excursion into nature. If you love two wheels, on the other hand, the region is a real paradise, set off to discover the area via the routes created for the bike sharing network, the numerous road or mountain bike routes.
