Accessible Experiences in Ticino – Part of the “Accessible Tour of Switzerland”
The “Accessible Tour of Switzerland” allows travellers to experience the diversity of Switzerland without barriers – and Ticino is part of this unique journey with two exceptional destinations. Based on the classic Grand Train Tour of Switzerland and supported by tour operator Claire & George, the trip can be customised.
Lugano – southern charm and a relaxing lakeside promenade
The picturesque city on Lake Lugano blends Italian flair with Swiss precision. Along the accessible lakeside promenade, visitors can enjoy breathtaking scenery and a mild climate. Parco Ciani, a peaceful green oasis, offers well-maintained, accessible paths.
Locarno – Mediterranean atmosphere and culture
Just a short, fully accessible train ride away, Locarno sits on the shores of Lake Maggiore. Its pleasant year-round climate and the accessibility of many attractions make it an especially inviting destination.
