Motorhome pitches in Ticino
Palm trees, grottos and clear water on the sunny side of the Alps
Palm trees, grottos and clear water on the sunny side of the Alps
South of the Gotthard a different Switzerland begins. In Ticino people speak Italian, the villages are built of granite, and palm trees and camellias grow on the shores of Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano. As early as March you can sit outside with an espresso.
Away from the lakes wild valleys open up: the Verzasca valley with its emerald river, the Maggia valley with its waterfalls, the Blenio valley and the Leventina with their stone houses and old mule tracks. Up on the alpine pastures cheese is made, and down in the grottos it is served.
Ticino has particularly strict rules: staying overnight outside official sites is prohibited by law. With Parkn'Sleep you find legal pitches with hosts in the valleys and by the lakes.
A mild climate, Mediterranean vegetation and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the castles of Bellinzona and the fossil mountain Monte San Giorgio. Add to that rustici, chestnut forests and water in every shade of green.
Swimming in rivers and lakes, canyoning in the Maggia valley, cycling along the Ticino river and hiking the Strada Alta in the Leventina. In the Blenio valley the Lukmanier Pass and the Nara plateau beckon, and around Airolo the slopes await in winter.
Ticino is in bloom from March to June, and in summer the rivers in the valleys offer refreshment. Autumn is chestnut and grape season and ideal for hiking. In winter it is mild by the lakes, while the valleys are quiet and partly closed.
No. Cantonal law prohibits camping outside authorised sites, even for a single night. Checks and fines are frequent. Use official pitches.
The road is narrow and winding but fine for small and medium vehicles. Parking is scarce in high season, so it pays to arrive early.
In spring and autumn: pleasant temperatures, less traffic and landscapes in bloom or in glowing colours.
Through the Gotthard road tunnel or over the pass, over the San Bernardino from Graubünden or over the Lukmanier from the Surselva.
