Walking holidays in Southern Switzerland

Walking holidays in Ticino in Southern Switzerland – an area known as the ‘Tropics of Switzerland’ with its long sunny days and distinct Mediterranean feel – are being featured by the Switzerland Travel Centre.

Options include the seven-night ‘Lake Lugano Southern Delights’ itinerary taking in the mountainous areas around this fjord-like lake and passing through tiny picturesque villages, alpine pastures and chestnut forests.

On offer until October, the twin share price of £826 per person includes return flights from Heathrow or London City, taxes, rail transfers and seven nights’ mainly two-star hotel accommodation with breakfast (four nights in Lugano, three nights in small towns and villages). The holiday also includes luggage transfers between hotels and walking notes. For more information, visit Stc.co.uk.
