Lakeside Marina of Tenero on Lake Maggiore

Highlight • Lake

Tenero-Contra is an idyllic community in the canton of Ticino, surrounded by the shores of Lake Maggiore and magnificent hilly landscapes. On the one hand, Tenero-Contra is known as a major industrial center. But in the past, the community has made a name for another sector, the tourism industry.

Old Town of Bellinzona

Highlight • Historical Site

Bellinzona Old Town
With elegant churches, magnificent parks, and squares, Bellinzona's old town offers a fascinating insight into the region's history and culture. The remarkable post office building also reflects contemporary Ticino architecture.
Bellinzona undoubtedly deserves its reputation as the most authentic old town in Ticino. The popular "Viale Stazione" street, which leads directly from the train station and into the old town, makes access particularly easy and convenient.
An absolute highlight that shouldn't be missed is the 15th-century Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. It impresses with its elegance and houses a stunning Renaissance fresco that transports visitors back to a bygone era.
Bellinzona's old town also offers a variety of charming shops, cafés, and restaurants where you can enjoy local cuisine and the Ticino ambiance. The picturesque alleyways invite you to stroll and continually offer new discoveries. Not to be forgotten are the well-preserved city walls and castles that surround the old town, offering an interesting insight into medieval defensive architecture.

February 5, 2025,Route 31 ab Ascona nach Bellinzona

The route is surprisingly well separated from other traffic and where you have to cross main roads, the cycle paths are well marked and the drivers in Ticino are extremely considerate. I always had the right of way, as did the pedestrians. The tour is best done on a racing bike.

July 2, 2022,Ausflug nach Bellinzona

From Ascona, the cycle path leads along the old road along the lake in Locarno. There are countless opportunities to jump into the lake. Along the old villas on the lake, you continue to the Magadino plain, past the airfield on a pleasant bike path to Bellinzona
