The Lago Maggiore region is one of the stages of the Grand Tour of Switzerland, the discovery voyage through Switzerland. Why is that? Is Ascona-Locarno really so representative of Switzerland? Absolutely! Our region embodies the Mediterranean side of our country: The climate is mild all year round, life by the lake is very relaxed and the palm trees immediately convey a holiday feeling. But once you leave the lake, you suddenly find yourself in the middle of nature and in front of the typical Swiss high-altitude mountains. The valleys around the Lago Maggiore hold many secrets and traditions. With their charming mountain huts, waterfalls, green meadows and colourful forests, they appear to be a true fairytale setting. On an excursion to the valleys, a visit to a grotto, the typical Ticino tavern where traditional specialities based on regional products are served, is a must. Incidentally, two photo spots of the Grand Tour of Switzerland are located in this region, in Ascona and on Cardada.
So, off you go on your trip to Ascona-Locarno! By car, by motorbike or even by train - with the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland.
