The gondola at Monte Comino - Cantone Ticino

The Ticino

The Ticino Region of Switzerland has to be my very favorite. With all the flavors of Italy and none of the inconveniences, these towns and cities are a wonderful vacation choice. Relax by the water's edge, sail a boat, shop, eat, drink, hike, bike, fly above a deep gorge in a gondola. Cantone Ticino has it all. Mountains and palm trees, beautiful gardens and ancient castles, fine food and good wine. All that and they speak bella Italiano!
