Ticino doesn’t go into hibernation

Always worth a trip

Things don’t stop here — they simply slow down.


In the south of Switzerland, winter takes its time to arrive. Even in November, the sun still warms, days stay bright, the air is crisp but mild, and the desire to be outside doesn’t go away. You can still walk along the lakeside, enjoy lunch outdoors, and explore events, exhibitions, and flavours.

Nature shifts, but doesn’t retreat. Cities stay alive, trails remain open, and the valleys speak in a quieter, more authentic tone. This is Ticino in the off-season — more intimate, less expected, and absolutely worth discovering. 

Ticino doesn’t hibernate. Do you?
 

November in Ticino moves at its own pace.


The colours turn warmer, the sun still leads the way, and there’s still every reason to spend time outdoors. The air already carries a hint of Christmas, and christmas markets begin to bring colour to the piazzas. The season slows, but never loses its charm.
