Arogno

Arogno is located in Ticino on a sunny plateau of the Val Mara, right on the border with Italy. Surrounded by hills, forests, and vineyards, this small border village offers a picturesque cultural landscape with beautiful views of Lake Lugano and the Valle d'Intelvi. The historic village, featuring the Church of San Stefano and traditional stone houses, is shaped by viticulture and agriculture and is ideal for peaceful walks through the vineyards.
