Stage 2: Capanna Pairolo – Cima di Fojorina – San Lucio – Gazzirola – Capanna Bar
The first part of the excursion leads you to Cima di Fojorina, passing through fascinating limestone landscapes, with a vegetation that is so particular that it is well worth seeing it for yourself.
After this, you should surely stop at San Lucio, which with its two huts and a tiny church make this an attractive resting spot. The spectacular excursion to the ridge, which is right on the border and whose view mainly focuses on the Gazzirola, provides you with the highest lookout point of Lugano Trekking.
