Top 7 Gardens in Canton of Ticino, Swiss Alps

September 11, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

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.

This is a really beautiful park on top of San Salvatore mountain. You'll taste a relaxing atmosphere submersed in a wide variety of trees and plants from all over the world. I had the chance to play here a few times and it was a really cool experience! Beautiful parks, play-ground for kids and walks through nature.

We were on a boat trip from Locarno which happened to stop at the islands in Lake Maggiore. We decided to alight and were pleased we did. We spent a very pleasant hour or so walking around the gardens which are planted with lots of plants from different parts of the world. This was well worth a visit. For those with children, there seemed to be plenty to keep them entertained.

Parco Scherrer

Reviewed By PaulSandmann - Berlin, Germany

...but I’ve never seen something quite like this one. When wandering through the lush garden you might catch the soft melody of “Nessun dorma” being played across the lake, sung by Pavarotti. I was lucky, I heard that song during my visit and the birds seemed to sing to the song. I felt being put back in time when writing “Narcissus”. What a beautiful day spent here..
