Ascona
Recommended
Ascona, like its neighbour Locarno, is ideally placed for numerous sports activities at the mouth of the Maggia, on the shores of Lake Maggiore. This small fishing village has become an upmarket lake resort greatly in favour among German-speaking tourists and has no lack of luxury hotels, cafés and restaurants overlooking the bay and lake. Leisure activities include window-shopping, daydreaming on the beach or an excursion to the Brissago islands.
