This Italian-speaking region in Southern Switzerland is on the border with Italy. Bellinzona is the capital, and Lugano is the most important city in the canton, known for its beautiful waterfront, steep hillsides and gorgeous lake views. Castelgrande is a lovely medieval castle overlooking the city that has recently been restored. The Centovalli Railway is a scenic train that operates between Locarno, Switzerland and Domodossola, Italy, traveling through the breathtaking "Hundred Valleys." Lake Como is nearby, the home of People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” George Clooney.

Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

Open until April 5, 2021. The Airolo-Pesciüm resort lies at the foot of the Gotthard massif, one of the most important passes in the heart of the Alps. Thanks to the Airolo highway exit, only 200 meters from the more than 500 free car parks of the ski lifts, it only takes one hour to reach us from Lugano and 90 minutes from Milan and Zurich. Airolo can also be easily reached by train: a free shuttle bus provides a connection to the departure station. A large cable car takes 100 skiers to the middle station of Pesciüm in just 5 min. From this point, which is also the center of the ski area, you can continue with different lifts and choose the type of slopes that suit your abilities. The slopes of the ski area extend for more than 30 kilometers at an altitude between 1175 and 2250 m a.s.l., all set in a breathtaking panorama. Airolo is perfect for all winter sports lovers: beginners, intermediates, experienced skiers, and families. There are also a snowpark and three snowshoes paths
Good skiing area at Airolo with a great two-stage funicular taking you up the mountain. Mainly red and black pistes so not the best place for beginners, although there is also a simple beginners ramp. Huge self-service restaurant at the Pescium funicular stop. Sufficient free parking right at the bottom funicular stop. All very well done the Swiss -but Italian speaking- way!

It is quite a hike to get there but there is as well a cable car... You cannot be afraid of heights...I am. The bridge is high and tight, but very save....the family loved walking over the bridge One can as well drive up a very small and scary road and then have a 2 km hike....is a bit easier
