All of Ticino lies on the southern side of the Alps and Italian is
its only official language. Ticino and the nearby parts of Italy share a common
history, culture and language. This canton never fails to fascinate because of
its natural contrasts: on the 100km (62miles) that separate St. Gotthard from
Mendrisiotto you can admire the whole spectrum of European landscapes.
From glittering glaciers to wild Alpine valleys, from green hills nurturing olives
and grapevines to the lush subtropical flora in the botanical gardens on the lakes.
Ticino's gastronomy taps the full potential of the cuisine of Lombardy and Piedmont
while retaining its authentic Ticinese character. From peaceful walks to the adrenaline
rush of sports, from hikes on more than 2000km of signposted trails to cultural events
and shopping opportunities. Ticino offers just about everything you expect of perfect
vacations.
