Tips
No visit to Locarno is complete without a detour to the Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church in Orselina, high above Locarno. Those who are not interested in religious or architectural history can at least enjoy the outstanding view over Locarno and Lake Maggiore. The church itself is a real eye-catcher and its interior is extremely impressive. However, since Madonna del Sasso is not just a tourist attraction, but also attracts believers from all over the world, the visit should be reserved and respectful.
