What to do in Ticino before Christmas

Ticino doesn’t go into hibernation

In the period before Christmas, Ticino takes on a new face: the light grows softer, the landscapes transform, and new activities enrich each day. A weekend in charming villages, an outdoor sporting activity, a cultural evening, or a moment of pure relaxation – each time, the region reveals itself in a different and surprising way. One thing, however, never changes: its beauty. Come and see it with your own eyes.

1. Surrounded by history

The Bellinzona and Valleys region is a place where nature and history intertwine. Castles, villages and snow-capped mountains create landscapes that, at sunset, light up with charm and authenticity.

2. Dolce Vita all year round

Between the shores of Lake Maggiore and the warmth of a Mediterranean climate, Ascona-Locarno is the perfect setting to savour the dolce vita. Days flow serenely with strolls, authentic flavours, and picturesque views.

3. Art, lake and nature in harmony

Lugano enchants with its glittering lake and a cultural scene alive with exhibitions, music and performances. From lakeside strolls to outdoor adventures, from museums to city events, every moment is an invitation to see the city sparkle from new perspectives.

4. Authentic experiences of nature and culture

Mendrisiotto surprises with the colors of its hills, the sunsets embracing the vineyards and the authentic flavors of a generous land. Villages and traditions accompany a journey that becomes a treasured memory.
