Tessin Reiseführer Michael Müller Verlag

In the sunroom of Switzerland, you can sit in a wicker chair at the Piazza Grande in Locarno and sip a coffee while heating is still necessary north of the Alps. With its mild climate and lush flora, the region has attracted travelers from the north for a long time. It was only later that the many valleys were discovered. Hikers will find countless marked trails, and where the ascent is steep, there is often a cable car. The art and culture of the 20th century are also at home in Ticino: from the Hesse Museum in Montagnola to the futuristic chapel by Mario Botta on Monte Tamaro, or the international film festival in Locarno, which draws film enthusiasts from all over the world. And of course, you can also indulge in culinary delights in Ticino: best enjoyed at the granite table in the shady grotto.
