    Hiking

    The Madonna del Sasso impressively thrones above Locarno on a rocky ledge. The pilgrimage church dates back to the 15th century and is one of the most important religious sites in Ticino. From here, you can enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains. It is accessible on foot via a steep Way of the Cross or comfortably by funicular. Inside, artistic frescoes and a calm, spiritual atmosphere are impressive.
