– 6:00pm down from Monte San Salvatore, take bus and walk along Lake Lugano to Parco Civico/Ciani (16min)
Questions:
1. However, from the Monte Bre timetable , it seems the funicular only runs in the early morning 7:00-7:45 from Cassarate to Suvigliana and 9:05-10:35 from Suvigliana to Monte Bre. Do I read correct? How much time should I allocate at Monte Bre? Is 1hr too much for just for the view and photos? no hike.
2. Between Monte Bre and Monte San Sulvatore, which one should I visit due to time constraint? Monte San Salvatore based on the photos and trip reports.
3. Is Gandria worthwhile to visit? If not, which other port for a boat ride on Lake Lugano?
4. When is better time, afternoon or late afternoon, or early evening, to go to Monte San Salvatore?
5. Other points of interest that I should go?
Thanks.
