Bellinzona and Alto Ticino (Ticino)
To travellers in earlier days, Bellinzona appeared from the south to be the key to the Alps; from the north, the gateway to Italy.
Biasca/Riviera (Ticino)
Open sesame… When you travel from the north along the long drawn-out Valle Leventina, at Biasca a light seems to come on. For this is where the sun-blessed, unspoilt Valle di Blenio opens out.
Blenio (Ticino)
One would think that anyone living in the Valle di Blenio
ought to have a sunny disposition – for the valley could
hardly be better situated.
Gambarogno (Ticino)
Ten kilometres of pure “Ticinità”… On the slopes of the
Gambarogno above Lake Maggiore, one typical Ticino
village is stretched out after another, like a string of
pearls.
Lago Maggiore (Ticino)
There cannot be many educational establishments
where so much laughter is heard: for the students at the
theatre school of the Teatro Dimitri – which also houses
a Museum of Comedy – are training to be clowns and
mime artists.
Lake Lugano Region (Ticino)
The biggest city on the sunny side of Switzerland may
be one of the country’s most important financial centres,
but by no means everything in the Lugano region revolves
around banks and business.
Leventina (Ticino)
800 vertical metres make all the difference… A trip along
the Valle Leventina is a journey between climate zones:
from the palms and vineyards of the south to the thick
pine forests of the mountains.
Maggia valley (Ticino)
The river twists like a serpent through the valley, throwing
itself over rocks, sliding seductively past sandy beaches.
Malcantone (Ticino)
Just one ride up and one ride down: but that is precisely
the attraction.
Mendrisiotto (Ticino)
Up here you feel as though you are on another planet –
and not only because of the Planet Trail, packed with
fascinating information.
Tenero-Verzasca (Ticino)
Of all the wonderful valleys in the Ticino, the Verzasca
with its Mediterranean climate is the most appealing – for
romantics (the upper valley) and adventurers (the lower).
