Walking Lugano, Lugano - Event in Ticino

Walking Lugano is an event for the entire population that aims to promote health, exercise and the region around Lugano. The event is open to all, regardless of age, gender and general health. The event offers a wide range of non-competitive walking and Nordic walking trails suitable for all fitness levels over various distances and with different levels of difficulty, two “Lake & Walking” routes (with boat trip) and a new attraction for the little ones: the fun scavenger hunt along the Relax route. Don't miss it! Information and registration at the website.

Itineraries (walking and nordic walking)

Itineraries extremely attractive in terms of landscape and well-suited for all sorts of fitness levels; these include longer and more demanding itineraries for those who want to test their endurance and “softer”, more level itineraries of just a few kilometers for others.

Relax (6.5 km) flat, without barriers and obstacles, suitable for everyone and designed for families
Melide (7.2 km) lakeside route starting in Melide and ending in Lugano (transport to the starting point by public transport included in the registration)
Panorama (10.3 km) medium distance and a splendid view of Lugano
Agno (13.9 km) medium distance route starting in Agno and finishing in Lugano via Muzzano, Collina d'Oro and Sorengo (transport to starting point by public transport included in registration)
Challenge (18.1 km) the challenge for the most trained walkers involving a climb up to Monte Brè

Two routes combining an evocative boat trip on Lake Lugano with walking will be offered:

Lake and Walking Melide (7.2 km) this itinerary also includes a boat trip from Lugano to Melide
Lake & Walking Gandria (5.4 km) this itinerary also includes a boat trip from Lugano to Gandria

New: scavenger hunt for the little ones
