Bordering Lugano (take bus no. 11 to get there), Castagnola is a small town at the foot of Monte Brè. A light, sunny air blows through this town with a southern temperament. To discover the lakeside at your leisure and immerse yourself in the local tranquillity, there's nothing like taking the Olive Tree Trail from Gandria to Castognola. The 3.3 km route is dotted with 18 information tables on botany, olive trees and history. Your bucolic stroll takes in an ancient olive grove and new areas where the tree has been reintroduced, an old olive press and the Castagnola Olive Park.
