Autumn in Ticino

For all those who need an extra boost of colours

Tips for the most beautiful autumn in Switzerland


There are many good reasons to visit Ticino even when the days get shorter. It retains its Mediterranean charm, the sun still shines, the colours glow with warm hues and chestnut husks continue to populate the woods. It is still nice outside: the season is not over yet, on the contrary!

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 most curious 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.
