    The trip begins in the narrow alleys of Ascona and winds its way to the boat dock on the lake shore. Once you have traveled along the wide lakeside promenade with its splendid location, it quickly becomes clear why this ancient sun-drenched town is considered a dream holiday destination. The view of the sparkling lake crowns the Mediterranean atmosphere. The houses and small cafes are lovingly cared for with great attention to detail.

    The route passes the bathing establishment and reaches the golf course, a well-maintained facility. Numerous benches line the tranquil lakeside. The route circles around the golf course and uses the same path for the return. It also passes the emblem of Ascona, the church with its tall bell tower.

    Finally, it is worth enjoying some time in Ascona. This location is often called the "pearl of Lake Maggiore," and rightly so. After all, this town with its privileged location is an attraction thanks to the lakeshore with typical southern romanticism, the mild climate, culturally and historically interesting sites, and a strong sense of hospitality. Not to be missed.
