Ticino is the southern gateway to Switzerland and conquers thanks to its charm, seduces by its lifestyle and its Italian language:
- The Locarno area, with the beautiful landscapes of Lake Maggiore, the Basodino Glacier, and magnificent valleys, as well as plenty of campsites where you can spend quality time in the company of friends and family;
- Lugano and the surrounding area; art and culture, but also shopping and nightlife make this region ideal for those looking for the perfect mix of city and nature;
- Mendrisio and its environs, where you can spend fun days getting lost in the hills and vineyards, or discovering the magnificent Breggia Gorge Park, but also plan cultural visits to the museums and outdoor archaeological sites;
- Bellinzona, a region truly defined equally by history and nature, with its famous UNESCO Heritage castles, as well as the gorgeous, wild landscapes found in the valleys of upper Ticino.
