My most beautiful Ticino photos: Lakes, valleys and alpine photo spots in southern Switzerland
The southern Swiss canton Ticino – Italian Ticino Ticino is one of the most scenically diverse regions in Switzerland. Mediterranean lakeshores, wild mountain valleys, and high alpine landscapes are often only a few kilometers apart. This unique combination of southern flair and alpine nature makes Ticino a true paradise for landscape photography.
Among the most famous places are the picturesque towns Ascona and Locarno at the Lake Maggiore as well as the vibrant city Lugano at the Lake Lugano. From viewpoints such as the Monte Brè or that Monte San Salvatore Spectacular panoramic views open up over lakes, palm trees and the surrounding mountain ranges – perfect subjects for impressive photos.
