    Features

    San Salvatore is Lugano's emblematic mountain. This imposing mountain south of the city offers a 360° panorama of the lake, scenery to the south, and the high Alps to the west. It is also know as the "Sugarloaf."

    This via ferrata was imported from the Dolomites, that is to say that the rock face is minimally equipped. You will have to be in contact with the rock to climb it.

    It's open all year except when there is snow or other inclement weather.

    Access

    With the funicular from the start of the Lugano-Paradiso to the Monte San Salvatore.

    If you want to go on foot, a marked path leads you to the intermediary funicular station of Pazzallo (490 m) and then to the start of the via ferrata (about 50 minutes).

     

    Via Ferrata

    This via ferrata is demanding and only for those who have good biceps. There is a lot of void and very little equipment, so you must use the rock.

    To be avoided when its raining and if the rock is wet.

     

    Way Back

    At the top of the via ferrata, you can either go frolicking down to Pazzallo on the beautiful path or you can go up to the summit in 20 minutes and from there take the funicular.
