Locarno Camellia Park

Highlight • Natural

Over 900 species of these ornamental plants, which originally come from East Asia, can be discovered here. Depending on the weather, the main flowering time is usually from mid-March and again from around the beginning of October due to autumn-flowering camellias.

Ascona Lakeside Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The scenery that opens up to you when you first look at the lake promenade in Ascona is stunning. Typical brightly painted houses make the former fishing village a very special place with a Mediterranean flair, which invites you to relax, stroll or enjoy a magnificent sunset over the lake.

Beautiful walk from Locarno to Ascona 😁😎☀️🌊🌴
It's the autumn/chestnut festival in Ascona - so there are lots of people.
