Road cycling route: Lugano, Alto Malcantone, Morcote and Carona

Without a doubt this is one of my favourite road cycling routes in Lugano. The route is challenging but beautiful, it has some hard hills with up to 20% gradient (don’t worry is a short section) but also some flat lake side roads where you can push or enjoy the scenery. The route takes you from Lugano to small Ticinese towns that will keep you distracted all the time. Among many beautiful places you’ll pass Morcote which is considered one of the most beautiful village in Switzerland.
