About the Lake
Mediterranean-style expanses in the Ticino Pre-Alps: a seaside bathing experience against a subtropical backdrop
Lake Maggiore (Lago Maggiore) is picturesquely nestled in the far south of Switzerland amongst the steep rocky slopes of the Maggia Valley and the Riviera. Fed mainly by the Ticino and Maggia rivers, this expansive body of water shapes the mild, Mediterranean climate on the border with Italy.
The surrounding lakeside communities offer well-maintained sunbathing lawns and spacious lido beaches for those seeking relaxation. Gentle access points and excellent facilities ensure a first-class opportunity to cool off beneath the palm trees.
