Canton Tessin (Ticino), Switzerland

The world of lakes

Gandria on Lake Lugano
Gandria on Lake Lugano
People who are enthusiastic about the Italian way of life are attracted by…Italy, of course. Another popular destination is the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, for example the canton of Ticino. It is the southernmost one of all of Switzerland’s cantons and is largely surrounded by Italian national territory. A nearly Mediterranean climate waits for tourists near the two lakes Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano.

Sensuousness is the most important thing in Ticino: the sun caresses the skin; the canton’s cuisine is as famous as its wines. Sweet chestnuts, which are very popular here, are roasted in the autumn, the leaves colour, the grapes ripen. If you fall in love with this autumn setting, you can also be sure that the canton of Ticino is just as beautiful in the spring, in the summer and in the winter.

But the canton of Ticino is also a beautiful holiday destination a little further away from the lakes. You will experience it yourself, for example in the capital city of the canton called Bellinzona, with its three castles Castello di Sasso Corbaro, Castelgrande and Castello di Montebello.

Or in Valle Verzasca, which is considered to be one of the most pristine valleys of Ticino due to its rough charm. Hikers, in particular, might like the place. Last but not least there is Alto Malcantone, the union of the towns Breno, Fescoggia, Arosio, Vezio and Mugena: here you will find the chestnut trees, whose fruit is used for many delicious foods.

The trees characterise the scenery and sometimes even tempt strollers to collect the sweet chestnuts eagerly. Italy is said to be a great seducer. Ticino could prove this saying right and that this talent is not lost in Swiss territory. Go there and form your own opinion!
