Known as a camping paradise, Tenero is located on the north shore of Lake Maggiore, at the entrance of the Verzasca valley. Tenero is a camping and sports paradise on Lake Maggiore. It has an ideal geographical location and is easily accessible by public transport. As a seaside resort directly on Lake Maggiore, a stone's throw from the town centre of Locarno and Ascona, camping in Tenero is very popular. It is also the gateway to the Verzasca Valley, a popular excursion destination, and offers many beautiful hikes. Tenero is the camping paradise in Ticino par excellence. Six campsites - five of them 5-star - leave no camping wish unfulfilled. But Tenero is not an unknown quantity on the sports scene either, as the National Youth Sports Centre of Switzerland is located here.
The stars of tomorrow. The National Youth Sports Centre attracts thousands of young sports enthusiasts to Tenero every year. They are not only encouraged to participate in sport, but also to have fun together and to build friendships under the Ticino sun.
The area of the Youth Sports Centre includes gymnasiums, football pitches, tracks, climbing walls, bike park, swimming pool, volleyball courts and many other facilities. But not only future top athletes can train in Tenero. Leisure sportsmen and women can also use part of the facility for free training.
Furthermore, thanks to its fantastic location, Tenero is the starting point for many walks or day trips. For example, an excursion to the Verzasca Valley or to Gambarogno, which is on the other side of the lake. Locarno and Ascona are also just a few minutes' drive away and offer a wide range of museums, cinemas and shops.
