Campsites in Ticino
Campsites in Ticino are popular for many reasons. Although it has an Alpine climate, the weather here is milder than in other parts of Switzerland, making summers pleasant and comfortable. Both nature and city life are always close at hand. Plus, Italy is just over the mountains, making it easy to add a cross-border excursion to your holiday plans.
The Canton of Ticino
Ticino is the southernmost canton of Switzerland, surrounded on three sides by Italy, and Italian is the main language. You can enjoy a real Italian-style holiday by one of the lakes, yet in many ways it remains distinctly Swiss—something you’ll notice as soon as you explore the mountains. The cities offer a unique blend of both cultures, with excellent food and plenty to enjoy!
