I am planning to spend 7-10 days during mid-November in Lugano. How is Lugano during November - misty, rainy, dark and dank or brighter? Please advise.

Hi,
have a look at the Lugano-weather-averages at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT004320
It will not be very rainy (average 10 "wet days" in Nov.), but rather cool!
Good Luck!
It is always better to be informed about road conditions.
So for this reason here's a website that wil tell you every Swiss tunnel and mountain pass status, open or closed.

After walking through the streets of this small town I recommend going a little bit outside. In only about 10 minutes you get on places with a natural beauty so that you can believe that you're hours away . . .
You absolutely have to visit the Verzasca Valley. It has its very special charm, it feels like going back in time.
The Verzasca river comes down from the mountains through a steep and narrow valley. A curvy, but comfortable road takes you thru an incredibly scenic countryside. The water of the river changes from an amazing emerald green to a deep turquoise blu, wild and too dangerous to swim in. Sometimes the crystalline waters can be deceiving, looking calm and inviting for a swim, but be aware the hidden turbolences are impossible to detect. On sunny days people are sunbathing, lying on the huge smooth rocks. A couple of very old medieval stone bridges connect the two valley sides. The houses of the small, picturesque villages are made of stone, even the roofs. Don't forget your camera!
The place at the very end of the vally is called Sonogno. Their bread is still being backed in a oven in the village square. From there a nice walk even deeper into the valley, always following the river takes you to a waterfall and a grotto, where you can eat some very tasty local salami and cheese, or try the homemade minestrone.
This is a second home for us and it is a small place with home cooking as well as great pizza. Grilled Sea Bass is my favorite dish, but the pizza with buffalo mozzarella and argula is very good also.
The Alpenrose Chocolate Factory. This is a short train ride around the lake and is a good way to spend a wet afternoon. Be warned however that the factory isn't in action at weekends. There is plenty of free chocolate to go round, and groups of more than 10 get in for free.
