Over 900 species of these ornamental plants, which originally come from East Asia, can be discovered here. Depending on the weather, the main flowering time is usually from mid-March and again from around the beginning of October due to autumn-flowering camellias.

Ascona Lakeside Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The scenery that opens up to you when you first look at the lake promenade in Ascona is stunning. Typical brightly painted houses make the former fishing village a very special place with a Mediterranean flair, which invites you to relax, stroll or enjoy a magnificent sunset over the lake.

Historic Centre of Locarno

Highlight • Historical Site

The city is very sophisticated and still shows remnants of the old, elegant times. Nice coffees and restaurants. There is always a market on Saturday with a wide range of offerings.
Flea markets can be found very easily on the website. If you are lucky enough to be there, definitely go through it.
The small streets hide small shops with goods that don't come off the shelf. It's worth wandering through!
