Summer in Ticino rhymes with social events and warm evenings spent under starry skies, but don't forget the good food!

Unmissable summer events

Concerts by the lake or in the squares of small villages in the valleys? Panoramic hikes to the top of the peaks? An international film festival, sporting events and much more. Ticino's summer offers something for everyone, and you'll be spoilt for choice.

In the morning, after a healthy breakfast, why not seek a little outdoor adventure?
