About Gandria
An unspoiled, picturesque village set on the banks of Lake Lugano, featuring beautiful natural landscape and charming streets.
The historically protected center of the village of Gandria, which is also not accessible by car, attracts visitors from all over the world. Whilst roads now reach the outskirts of the village, many of these visitors arrive by boat services on the lake. It is also possible to walk from Lugano to Gandria to Lugano via a footpath, now branded the Olive path, which passes plantations of olive trees and offers views of the Lake of Lugano. The important sites of Gandria include the Church of Saint Vigilio, which was completed in 1463, and the Swiss Customs Museum. Today, Gandria is a mix of tradition and modernity.
