Although the Lugano area offers biking trails for nearly all levels of difficulty, many people travel here for its especially challenging trails. Trails like the Monte Arbostora requires a level of fitness and skill, but the payoff is huge - mountain bikers will find themselves rewarded with one of the longest, most diverse single trails in the region, all while having a beautiful view on Lake Lugano.
