Pazzallo

Pazzallo is a district of the city of Lugano and lies 426 m above sea level on the northern slope of Monte San Salvatore ( 912 m above sea level). The funicular goes up the mountain in a few minutes from Pazzallo. The panorama shows from Lugano over Campione d'Italia to Melide. Next to a chapel there is a former 17th century pilgrims' house for the poor and walkers on the pilgrimage to the Church of the Redeemer. On Monte San Salvatore there is a popular via ferrata, several hiking trails and an easy nature trail with stages for treasure hunting. A museum displays rocks and fossils from the mountain. Pazzallo itself also offers a magnificent view of Lugano and of the Valais Alps up to Monte Rosa. About 1500 people live in Pazzallo. Lake Lugano can be reached by bicycle from Pazzallo in a few minutes. In addition, the district is about 25 minutes by car from the Italian border

“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”

“The flight was great as was Ralph my pilot. The only disappointment was the flight time was only 15 minutes not the 20. 🤷🏼‍♂️”
