Lungolago: Am Ufer des Luganer Sees entlang von der Schweiz nach Italien

In the past, one of the absolute don'ts was to take the motorhome from Lugano to Lake Como. On the only direct connection there, the encounter of such a motorhome with the regional bus in one of the single-lane short tunnels could bring the traffic to a standstill for hours. For a few years now, a 7 km long tunnel has solved the problem. All the more charming since then is the old little shore road, freed from through traffic and hardly used any more. But from the beginning: The tour starts at the sophisticated Lugano promenade, lined by the sales stamps of the big luxury brands in venerable palazzi, past which the often aging money aristocracy likes to walk the little dog in a fur coat. Worth seeing, venerable grandeur fallen from time on the old part. In the direction of Gandria, the route then leads up the mountain past real estate whose exquisite lakeside location can largely only be guessed at. On the border with Italy, watch out: Immediately after the Italian customs station before the new tunnel do not miss the departure to the right to the old bank road. The rest is a curvy pleasure through sleepy little villages, connected by partly adventurous stretches of road, on which even a motorhome without an oncoming bus becomes a horror performance. But in a Porsche - at best open - the track is a dream. Are you hungry? Then shortly after the long tunnel, which we have just so elegantly driven around, has spat its cars out again onto the now fairly wide little road, brake in the small town of CIMA. Andreas LA TAVERNA has the best pizza on the lake right on the main road! For a cappuccino we continue to the promenade of Porlezza, where this tour ends. And then we can decide whether we want to explore the mountains on the south side of Lake Lugano from Porlezza on my tour TRA LE DUE LAGHI - DA PORLEZZA A BISSONE.
