Lakeside Cycle Path Locarno–Tenero

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful bike path overlooking the lake, very popular but spacious and with excellent asphalt conditions. It's the perfect connection between Locarno and Tenero and vice versa.

San Quirico Church and Medieval Bell Tower

Highlight • Religious Site

In the Quartier Rivapiana stands the church of San Quirico e Giolitta, which was already mentioned in 1313 as a place of worship. It was expanded in later centuries and their orientation changed. In the single-nave church room, three fresco cycles can be seen along the walls: on the south wall, some fragments of the oldest frescoes from the 13th century, with scenes from the life of Jesus; on the south wall the cycle with scenes of the Nativity and the Adoration of the Magi (15th century); on the triumphal arch a fresco of the Annunciation, with a vivid cityscape in the background (16th century); on the north wall. over the old church gate, an Enthroned Madonna and San Rocco. Near the church is a tower of medieval design, whose oldest part goes back to the 12th century. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th century as a bell tower, it used to be a watchtower, probably dating back to an earlier construction than the church.

Lakeside Marina of Tenero on Lake Maggiore

Highlight • Lake

Tenero-Contra is an idyllic community in the canton of Ticino, surrounded by the shores of Lake Maggiore and magnificent hilly landscapes. On the one hand, Tenero-Contra is known as a major industrial center. But in the past, the community has made a name for another sector, the tourism industry.
