Switzerland
One day in Origlio & Lugano
1 day
Immerse yourself in the big city life of Lugano and get back and relax in the small village Origlio. We combined the best of both worlds in one day. You wake up in Origlio, a small village that is only a 5 minute train ride away from Lugano. Here you can enjoy the peacefulness of a small village in the Italian part of Switzerland and go on a serene walk. After a good morning hike, you’re ready to discover the best of Lugano in one day.
For people who like
Peaceful hike in Origlio
Origlio is a very peaceful village that’s only 5 minutes away from Lugano by train. We stayed in a very nice and clean Airbnb that is affordable and next to Laghetto di Origlio. When discovering a city, we always like to spend the night in a smaller village nearby. There are a lot of walking tours to discover in Origlio. We did a small hike of 5,5 kilometers to the lake, a viewpoint on the lake, a church and through the small streets of Origilo. An ideal waking up walk to feel the Italian vibes and nature!
Take the train to Lugano
Strolling around in Lugano
Lugano is one of the biggest cities in Ticino, Switzerland. As part of the Italien side of Switzerland, you really feel the Italian vibes! It’s very Mediterranean with palmtrees and mostly good weather. There is a lot to discover in this big city. Some biggest highlights are the promenade with a magnificent view on the lake, Parco Ciani and Santa Maria degli Angioli. The old city center is also a must if you want to feel the classic Italien vibes or go drink a coffee in a local coffee bar. A last highlight is going to the best viewpoint on Lugano: Monte Brè. You can choose to hike up this hill or take a typical train to the top. We didn’t do this one due to lack of time, but it is definitely worth it!
