Gandria at a glance

This is Gandria

Gandria is located in Ticino in the south of Switzerland and is one of the most unspoilt villages on Lake Lugano. The car-free village lies directly on the water, nestled in the steep slopes of Monte Brè, making it a wonderful excursion destination.

Discover Gandria

Stroll through the winding alleyways with their colorful houses and discover charming squares. A must: the lakeside path from Lugano to Gandria, which leads you along the lake through Mediterranean vegetation. Enjoy Ticino specialties and a local Merlot in one of the typical grotti right by the water.

Grotti and Ticino delights

Experience traditional Ticino cuisine in the grotti of Gandria. Here you can enjoy polenta with brasato, fresh fish dishes and local wine - all in a relaxed atmosphere, often right on the lakeshore.

Gandria and Lake Lugano

Gandria is located directly on the shores of Lake Lugano and can be reached not only on foot but also by boat. A trip across the lake gives you unique views of the village and the surrounding mountains. Along the promenade, you will find restaurants with lakeside terraces where you can enjoy Ticino cuisine with a view of the water.

Around Gandria

The area around Gandria is perfect for exploring: you can reach small, idyllic bays along the lake by boat. If you like hiking, climb Monte Brè, from where you have a spectacular view over Lake Lugano. Lugano, with its rich cultural offerings, is also just a short drive away.

Experience Gandria at a reasonable price

With the Ticino Ticket, you can travel for free on public transport in Ticino and benefit from discounts at many attractions.
