The mixture of Mountains and Lakes make a holiday in
Switzerland special
The diversity of this landlocked,
mountainous country is the essence of Switzerland and gives the
country its unique identity. Because of its central position, the
weather is influenced by the four main European air currents –
from the Atlantic, the eastern continent, the northern subpolar
region and the Mediterranean south. The climate is temperate on
the Central Plateau, otherwise it differs considerably from region
to region.
There is a feeling of Italy in Ticino, located
on the southern side of the Alps, with palm trees at clean beaches
and lanes and alleyways leading to piazzas and churches.
In Ticino, spring, autumn and winter are just
a few train stations apart. Mountains still covered in snow
contrast with balmy chestnut forests and rich camellia on
lakeshore promenades. If you want la dolce vita, search no more -
it is waiting for you in the numerous sub-tropical parks and
gardens. If you crave excitement, take a whitewater ride. And if
you prefer cultural pursuits, they're available at every turn;
romantic landscapes have always attracted poets and artists and
inspired architects to dream up daring constructions - often based
on ancient architectural tradition.
A rich blend of past and future, north and
south, mountains and plains, nature and culture, city and country
- that's Ticino in a nutshell.
