Discover the diversity of the region
Ticino – the sunny southern part of Switzerland – combines Mediterranean flair with alpine scenery. Nestled between palm trees, lakes, and mountains, the region offers countless activities: swimming, boating, and stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano; hikes through chestnut forests; spectacular mountain tours; and via ferratas. Adventure seekers will find canyoning, biking, and paragliding, while those seeking tranquility can relax in thermal baths, grottos, and charming old towns like Locarno, Ascona, and Lugano. Culture enthusiasts can look forward to castles, museums, festivals, and culinary highlights ranging from risotto to Merlot.
In short: Ticino = the sun, lakes, mountains, enjoyment and action all in one.
