In March, if you love blossoms, Viale Monte Verità in Ascona and Via Beltramina in Lugano are two addresses to note down.
In Ascona, along Viale Monte Verità, the atmosphere is scenic and naturally leads towards the lake and the town centre. It is a perfect stretch to include before or after a walk along the lakeside, among views, terraces and cafés.
In Lugano, on Via Beltramina, the bloom unfolds in a peaceful urban setting, within a residential area that can be reached from the city center by taking bus line 7 toward Pregassona.
The bloom is fleeting and lasts only a few weeks. It is precisely this ephemeral nature that makes it so special. Each year is different, sometimes more intense, sometimes more delicate, yet always capable of surprising.
And if after your walk you feel like continuing your petal hunt, Ticino offers plenty of opportunities. March and late spring light up colours and fragrances almost everywhere. For more ideas, explore the list of parks and gardens in Ticino.
