It just takes 10 minutes to get to Sighignola from Lanzo. The Vista Point - also known as *wow!* Balcony of Italy - dominates the Swiss lake of Lugano.
Did you know.. There is a mule track that starting from the ski run brings you to the Balcony. It is tough, and it takes 45 minutes to climb it all, but proud mountain bikers should accept the challenge..
