Winter Delights in Ascona 🇨🇭

Experience the magic of winter in Ascona, Switzerland. Nestled in the heart of Ticino, this charming town offers a romantic ambiance that will steal your heart. Discover the joys of winter in Ascona and embrace the serenity of Switzerland.

Ascona used to be a small fishing village. Nowadays, many Europeans like to come here for a holiday and hold a wedding. It is a quiet lakeside town with beautiful scenery. Ascona is adjacent to Lake Maggiore and on the other side is France. In Ascona, explore the interesting shops in the winding alleys of the stone road, or take a walk along the blue lake Maggiore, or sit in the open-air stalls of the colorful lake. A guest ice cream, bathing in the sun, is extremely enjoyable.

Take the cable car to the Caldada Lookout, and as the cable car slowly heads to the top, the town of Locarno has a panoramic view. The Caldada Lookout is a beautiful bridge that hangs between the canopy of the forest. Standing here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Maggiore, Cento Valley and the Machia Valley in 180 degrees. And this viewing platform, which is regarded as one of Switzerland's five amazing landscape designs, may be a challenge for those who fear high, because the platform is really a deep abyss.

#tripaway Cascata Froda One of my favorite places in Switzerland, The ride to Sonogno is wonderful. I did it by Post bus with a tour group, so no chance to stop along the way at either the amazing dam or the jumping bridge. Sonogno itself is quite charming. With some extra time, the 20 minute walk to Froda is well worth it. It's not a world-beater for height, but it is scenic and a change from the village experience #tripaway
