Accessible tourism

In Ticino, the range of fully-accessible facilities available to travellers with disabilities – hotels, restaurants, means of transport – is broader than ever.

However, the often mountainous terrain and the traditional nature of many historic town and village centres prevent the whole canton from being freely accessible. We suggest therefore that you specify your requirements in terms of accessibility, in order to help us give you appropriate information.

Local tourist offices and the FTIA (www.ftia.ch – the Ticinese Federation for the Integration of People with Disabilities) will be able to give you suggestions for accessible hotels, restaurants, museums, tours and events. Do not hesitate to get in touch.
