Where Italy and Switzerland meet
As a nation with 4 official languages, Switzerland’s diverse regions will let you feel like you’ve visited many different countries in one trip. Leave the Alps behind and travel south to discover the Italian-speaking region of Ticino and the unmissable oasis of Lake Maggiore.
Famous for being a vast lake in Italy, Maggiore crosses the border to also become one of the largest lakes in Switzerland. Its Mediterranean shores boast tranquil towns with beautiful waterfront villas.
Explore the colourful towns of Locarno, Ascona and Ronco sopra Ascona and bask in the sun on the shores of the lake. Close by, you can hike through the Maggia Valley and stop for a refreshing swim in the Cascata del Salto waterfall.
Close to the Italian border, discover the town of Brissago and its peaceful lakeside promenade. From here you can drive up the Osteria Borei mountain and dine with stunning views of both Swiss and Italian Maggiore.
