About About the place

The Olive Trail is a pedestrian path stretching between Lugano and the charming village of Gandria along the shores of Lake Lugano. The trail is known for its relatively easy terrain, picturesque views of the lake and surrounding hillsides, and occasional olive trees. While not a commercial olive plantation, the trail’s name references the historical cultivation of olives in the region. The path features some steps and inclines, and several opportunities to stop for refreshments. Many visitors choose to take a boat to Gandria and walk back to Lugano, or vice versa.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.
