Botanical garden of Gambarogno
This magnificent botanic garden is found for the Gambarogno-side of Lake Maggiore, over a plain in the hills between Piazzogna and Vairano.
In this place, Otto Eisenhut, a patient and talented cultivator of plants and trees, cultivated a large number of beautiful and vibrant flowering plants like 950 types of camelias, 450 different magnolias, azaleas, peonies and Rhododendron over a surface of greater than 20’000 m2.
In addition, here grows also ivy, pines, juniper as well as other rare European and exotic coniferous trees.
Since the beginning of the season 2000 the park is led by the donation ” parco botanico del gambarogno “, which is to ensure the continuity of the attractive garden having its valuable botanic collection.

Cardada Cimetta
Maybe you have thought that above Locarno you will find there’s view point that you can view at the same time the cheapest point (Lago Maggiore) along with the highest point (Dufour Peak in Monte Rosa) in Switzerland?
About the summit from the mountain, 1671 meters above sea level, a viewing platform was built which overlooks the complete region of Lake Maggiore. For the east the vista stretches from your Magadino Plain to Bellinzona. For the west the scene extends over many of the most famous peaks of the Swiss Alps including the Dufour. Towards the south, past the mountains that surround Lake Maggiore, you can observe in the distance the Ligurian Apennines, located near Genoa.
Further down, several meters away from the arrival station in the cable car a footbridge was built which winds its way through the tops with the trees in the woods below. Because of this unusual scenic promontory you’ll be able to admire the river, the Centovalli and parts of the Maggia Valley.
