More sun, more light, more dolce vita
Anyone travelling from German-speaking Switzerland to Ticino often notices the difference shortly after passing the Gotthard. The climate changes, the air feels milder, the light softer – and it is precisely this feeling that makes Ticino one of the most popular holiday destinations for visitors from north of the Alps.
Ticino is the sunniest region in Switzerland. When fog, covered skies and cooler temperatures dominate in northern and central Switzerland, the weather south of the Alps is often much more pleasant. Especially in spring and autumn, visitors from the north of the country enjoy significantly more hours of sunshine here – a real mood booster and a good reason for a spontaneous short break or a long weekend.
