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.

A paragliding flight is an unforgettable and incredible experience. We're Mountaingliders, a selection of local pilots committed to provide the care and professionalism you deserve. Ascona-Locarno is the most practical and suitable place for paragliding flights in Ticino. It's probably because of the perfect exposition of its slopes to the sun, where nice thermal lifts start directly after the take-off in Cimetta. But also because of the large altitude span of almost 1500m from top to down, allowing an immense and spectacular glide over the city and along the water of the Lake Maggiore and, finally, do you mind touching the ground on the lowest point in Switzerland? Discover the unique feeling of landing on a tandem paraglider at the Delta of the Maggia river, directly at the sandy beach in Locarno, it's just amazing! Don't forget to take your swimsuit with you for a refreshing plunge into its clear water. More than 10 years of experience. Our promise: total satisfaction guarantee!

Leaving from Capolago-Riva San Vitale railway station, by Lake Lugano, you'll soon reach the steep slopes of Monte Generoso and its enchanting mountain train which opened in 1890. After an enchanting forty minute journey through the unspoilt natural landscape, you reach the base of the summit (1704m). From this point you can enjoy one of the most thrilling 360° panoramas anywhere in Switzerland. The view of the Alps is unique, and gives you a wonderful 'birds eye view' across the north of Italy, the Lakes region and the alpine chain.Follow the circular trail to discover the ten or so "nevere", ancient versions of our modern fridges. These fascinating cylindrical stone buildings were built by the farming communities to preserve their milk before making it into butter and cheese. This little concentration of these remarkable structures is unparalleled anywhere else in Switzerland. From the station at the top, you can also follow the path along the eastern ridge which arrives firstly at the Nadigh alpage and, shortly after, through a pretty level section flanked by limestone slabs from the local quarries, the Genor alpage. Immediately after, the trail heads gently back up to the railway station, from where you can take the little train again once again to descend to Capolago.

Last summer I took my four grandkids for a truly wonderful day out to see these magnificent birds fly so close over our heads. It was brilliant, the staff were good and very helpful and this year I am taking a group from a club for the experience too! Well worth it.

Since we have been there, we think, the bar has find a new management. Small card with yummy food, super friendly service and well... the view is just amazing! There's no pool and you can just jump in the lake (mainly to inform the one with small people) but it's so worthy! A short walk for the parking before the beginning of the Sentiero dell'Ulivo, or if you feel to walk more (about 20-25) parking in Gandria, the scenario is amazing.
