Autumn in Ticino

For all those who need an extra boost of colours

Autumn, the late Summer

In Ticino, summer always lasts a little longer and gradually gives way to Switzerland’s longest autumn, which is filled with the scent of mushrooms and chestnuts. The sun shines, the cool breeze blows through your hair, nature begins to change its colours and the first chestnut husks populate the woods. It feels good outside. 

What to do

Ticino, the land with a mild climate even in the autumn months, always offers something to do. Walking trails, hikes and bike-friendly itineraries are in fact perfectly practicable even in the late season. But the list of activities also continues indoors: in Ticino you can access the best wellness centres with panoramic views or the many museums in the canton. All with the unmissable facilities just a click away with the Ticino Ticket.

Where and what to eat

The grotti, cradles of taste and guardians of tradition, are perhaps the most representative of Ticino's culinary culture. Often located near the woods, they are the symbol of Mediterranean conviviality and the pleasure of dining that distinguish the Italian part of Switzerland. Here you will find a list of all the grotti in Ticino to discover: savour the genuineness of local products, from polenta to fine game, inside evocative structures!

Grottos

Nothing is more typical for life in Ticino than the grotto, a simple tavern in quiet hideaway places, well in the shade of trees. Everybody sits in the coolness of the trees, drinking and eating products of the local cuisine.
