Hi,

I'm going to Ticino at Easter and I'd like to hike out there and enjoy some sceneric views.

Near Lugano, I was thinking of Monte Bré or Monte San Salvatore.

Near Locarno, I've heard about Cardada.

Do you have any tips or recommendations? I am a good walker but I never actually hiked... How long it would take to go up and down?

I might hike on my way up then take a cable car on my way down if possible / necessary

Thanks in advance!
