On the Grand Tour of Switzerland, the journey is the goal. This route will lead you 1000 miles through four language regions, over five Alpine passes, to thirteen UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well as two biospheres and along 22 lakes. Motorways on the Grand Tour are chiefly avoided and taken only if it makes traffic-sense.

The Grand Tour of Switzerland is primarily designed for cars and motorbikes, but a second version of the tour – the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland – is made up of the most stunning railway routes, such as the Centovalli Railway. Furthermore, the Grand Tour of Switzerland is the world’s first road trip for e-cars! Numerous charging stations guarantee power for the whole itinerary of over 1000 miles. Since 2024, there has also been a barrier-free Grand Tour of Switzerland, which is aimed at individual guests and small groups and is personally tailored to the needs of the guests.
Four stages of the Grand Tour are located within the stunning Lake Maggiore region: Ascona, Locarno, Brissago and the Verzasca Valley. But of course, there are many more exciting places and attractions to explore in the Ascona-Locarno area. From the mountains to Lake Maggiore, you can discover historic buildings, botanical gardens, islands and lakeside promenades, as well as picturesque valleys that tempt you to linger a little longer.
Don't miss the chance to take a photo at the photo spots on the lakeside promenade in Ascona or up on Cardada and share it on social media with the hashtags #myasconalocarno #INLOVEWITHSWITZERLAND #SwissGrandTour. Please note that during the JazzAscona (late June/early July) and during the Christmas period, the Ascona photo spot is not accessible.
