Monte San Giorgio


This coming weekend the weather seems to be wet and windy throughout all of Switzerland, except in Canton Ticino where it is forecast to be a warm 20 degrees!

So lets kick off Spring with a hike to the place they call the Swiss “dinosaur mountain”, an almost 1100m high peak which has been a centre of interest for archaeologists since the 19th century. The route we take will give us some breathtaking views of the lakes below and across the greenery down the mountainside.
