Message from Julie Brown

Gandria, located on the shores of Lake Lugano in Ticino, is the perfect place for a fun and picturesque vacation. Surrounded by chestnut forests and steep mountains, Gandria has preserved its original atmosphere for more than 100 years. Take a boat across the lake to visit the Swiss Customs and Smugglers Museum or get to know the village by taking a walk through its car-free zone's narrow lanes and staircases. Study at one of Switzerland’s oldest churches built in 1645 then continue your journey to explore natural scenery: hike up Monte Brè or take an excursion to experience breathtaking views. While exploring this Swiss hidden gem, you will also find plenty of accommodation such as charming hotels, bed and breakfasts, apartments, campsites, and hostels. With an array of activities suitable for all, make sure to check out Gandria’s offers and start your Swiss adventure here.
