A trip to Locarno

Travelling to Locarno on the Treno Gottardo from Zurich or Basel (via Lucerne and Airolo) is an experience in itself: enjoy a delicious coffee from the train bistro and the impressive views along the Gotthard panoramic route.

Once you arrive in Locarno, the funicular railway takes you directly from the city centre to Orselina - with magnificent views over the city and lake. From there, take the cable car to Cardada, where sunny panoramic terraces, fresh mountain air and panoramic trails await.

Whether a leisurely stroll or an extended hike - hikers and families will find a variety of paths through forests and alpine landscapes. Children can let off steam in the playground while adults enjoy the peace and space. The Cardada-Cimetta chairlift finally takes you to the summit - with a panoramic view from the Valais Alps to Lake Maggiore.

Back in Locarno, a Ticino platter with regional specialities as an aperitif rounds off the day.
