My heart beats for the mountains

Mountain regions need you

Mountain regions need your support!


Join the campaign My heart beats for the mountains.
Switzerland's mountain regions have gone through difficult times in recent weeks.
Every gesture of support helps to keep the beauty and culture of our mountains alive.
Your voice can make a difference!



Angelo Trotta

Director of Ticino Turismo



"Unity is strength, a very valid statement at the local level, confirmed by the wave of solidarity that Vallemaggia is experiencing. It is even more important to ally with those facing similar challenges not far from here, to share and develop winning strategies."










Christa Rigozzi

Presenter and former Miss Switzerland



"Right now, we must be united. Ticino and Vallemaggia are wonderful places that everyone in Switzerland should have the opportunity to discover. The best way to support the mountain regions at this time is to spend time there, for example by hiking or organizing your holidays here."








Niccolò Castelli

Director of Ticino Film Commission



"To me, the mountain is an open-air set, it is cinema."
