A demanding route from Brè Paese to Monte Boglia, returning to Brè Paese with the option to continue towards Monte Brè. The path climbs steadily through the forest, opening from time to time to beautiful views over Lake Lugano that feel like a preview of what comes later. The most impressive panorama is reached higher up, close to Monte Boglia, and makes the effort of the ascent well worth it.

    Sehr schöne Tour um die Denti della Vecchia. Günstiger Ausgangspunkt mit Parkplatz. Die Tour ist zügig gegangen in der angegebenen Zeit zu schaffen. Sie eignet sich auch für Sommertage, da die Tour fast immer durch Wald läuft. Das hat auch Nachteile bei der Aussicht. Es gibt trotzdem genug Punkte von denen man gute Aussicht haben kann. Im Abschluss der Denti della Vecchia bevor der Abstieg beginnt, hat man die schönste Aussicht. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Wanderung. Nur einige sind noch ein wenig schöner im Luganersee Umfeld, wie Monte Bar oder Broglia. Diese möchte man aber nicht im Hochsommer gehen.

    Eine der besten Touren im Luganersee Umfeld. Parkmöglichkeiten am Wochenende sind begrenzt, daher sollte man nicht zu spät starten. Vom Gipfel und auch etwas unterhalb genießt man eine der besten Aussichten.

    Ich habe diese Tour mit einem Freund zusammen gemacht. Wir fanden sie sehr schön und abwechslungsreich, die erste und zweite Stage waren sehr gut ausgeschildert. Was uns allerdings gestört hat, dass die dritte Stage nicht gut ausgeschildert war. Trotzdem finden wir die Tour wunderschön und möchten Sie vielleicht in paar ein Jahen nochmal machen.

    A very cool tour to hike, because of all the different types of terrain. The only issue was the navigation on stage 3. I got lost once because there weren’t any signs.

    Sensationell... Klasse Wege, herrliche Aussichten, abwechslungsreiche Landschaft, viel Schatten für die Sommermonate, spektakuläre Felslandschaften, malerisches Künstlerdorf... Achtung: - letzter Bus fährt um 18:06 - Parken in Lugano ist sehr teuer
