This Southern Swiss gem simply has it all. A mere moment ago you were sipping your espresso in the harbor of Ascano, now you find yourself balancing across massive dam walls on your way to the high alpine hut Cristallina. Hiking back towards the lake you seize the opportunity to explore ancient dwellings in the Vallemaggia just before you emerge into the dark chestnut forest around Rasa and take a dive into the emerald waters of the Verzasca river. In this region, there's a hike for every taste. What's your next tour going to be like? Our partner Ascona-Locarno helps you decide with this collection.
