Admire the panorama first from the different lookouts and then from the exclusive Capodoro terrace where you’ll find out more about the mountain thanks to geographical satellite maps.

Enter the San Salvatore Museum on the summit which once formed an ancient hospice providing shelter to the poor and travelers. Visit the rooms and discover a precious collection of rare religious art that illustrates the history of the Confraternity over the centuries. See an exhibition on the region’s rocks, minerals, fossils and speleology and find out more about the history of the lightning research center.

Experience unforgettable moments on Mount San Salvatore: if you're interested in gourmets, culture, and nature, this is the perfect spot for you! If you're a sports enthusiast, you can descend down along the hiking trails to Ciona, Carona, Melide, Morcote, Pazzallo and Paradiso.
