PubliBike Velospot: Bike sharing

Explore the region on two wheels: here are some easy cycling routes that will allow you to discover the scenic beauty of the Lugano region. From the lakeside promenades of Lugano to panoramic viewpoints such as Monte Brè, and on to the more remote and natural areas of Capriasca and Malcantone, you can discover the region’s wonders while respecting the environment.

Signposting

As the routes are not signposted, you will need to download or print the maps and/or GPX files. The free SwitzerlandMobility app, with GPS tracking enabled, allows you to view your location at all times on a digital topographic map.

These routes have been designed to be easily accessible to anyone wishing to use the PubliBike Velospot bike-sharing network. This practical and affordable bicycle hire service is an ideal way to avoid traffic and parking difficulties while exploring the natural beauty of the Lugano region.

These compact and easy-to-handle city bikes have aluminium frames and certain structural limitations: they are not equipped with suspension and have limited power, so extra care should be taken on uphill sections. The PubliBike Velospot network continues to expand, offering an increasing number of stations and bicycles, including both traditional and electric models.

How bike sharing works

Using the PubliBike Velospot app, you can locate the nearest station. Once you have selected a bicycle, you can unlock it using your smartphone or SwissPass, provided that your subscription is linked to your card. At the end of your journey, you may return the bicycle to any station within the network. The PubliBike Velospot bike-sharing system operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
