Hotels in Locarno Ascona Losone, Switzerland
Locarno, Ascona, and Losone sit on the sunny shores of Lake Maggiore in southern Switzerland, famous for their Mediterranean microclimate and palm-fringed promenades. Temperatures range from 50°F (10°C) in winter to 82°F (28°C) in summer, so you can sail or swim in the lake during warm months, or hike the nearby Verzasca Valley in spring and fall when the crowds thin. While Locarno buzzes with the historic Piazza Grande and the Madonna del Sasso sanctuary, Ascona draws you with its Monte Verità museum and waterfront cafés, and quiet Losone offers bike paths along the river Maggia.
