Paradiso

Among Ticino’s lakeside municipalities, Paradiso stands out for its setting on Lake Lugano beneath Monte San Salvatore. Although it is a separate municipality, it forms part of Lugano’s continuous urban waterfront and carries the Italian-speaking character of Switzerland’s southern canton. The lakeshore promenade keeps the water close, while the Monte San Salvatore funicular begins here and rises to the 912-metre summit above the city. This connection between a built-up shoreline and a steep mountain slope defines Paradiso’s compact setting. See how Paradiso fits within the wider Lugano area by browsing webcams nearby.
