Motorbike and touring

Discover the most beautiful corners of the Ascona-Locarno Region in the saddle of your motorcycle. Curvy roads that lead far into the valleys and palm trees adorned lake promenades to enjoy the Dolce Vita of Ticino.

Thanks to its privileged location and the mild climate year-round, the Lake Maggiore region and its surrounding valleys present an ideal stage during your motorcycle tour through Switzerland. The sun-drenched region offers wonderful trips into wild valleys where nature and tradition melt into breathtaking scenery.


After crossing one of the most impressive mountain passes, the Gotthard Pass, you can reach Ticino by descending along the famous Tremola road - a unique and unforgettable experience. Arrived in Ascona-Locarno numerous motorcycle friendly accommodations, affiliated to the Swiss Motorcycle Federation, looking forward to welcoming you.

The motorcycle is an excellent way to discover the region and get to know it better. The life at the lake is very relaxed and the palm trees immediately give the feeling of south and holidays. When you leave the lake, a completely different side of Ticino opens up. Suddenly you are in the middle of nature and in front of high mountains. The valleys around Lake Maggiore keep secrets and are transformed into a fairytale world by the traditional rustici (stone houses), waterfalls, green meadows and colourful forests. If you make a trip to the valley it includes a visit to the Grotto, where local specialities made from regional products are served.
