BELLINZONA E ALTO TICINO CULTURAL HERITAGE WITH A BROAD VISION If you look a little higher up, you will see the Castelgrande dating from the 13th century, the oldest of the three castles of Bellinzona. Today, it is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. With its stern architecture, it appears decidedly modern. Good news for any lazy-bones: there is a lift from the old town right into the courtyard of the castle, so get moving! Up here, you can hardly hear the voices from below. You are at one with the sky, and with the splendid history of Bellinzona. The view of both the other castles (Sasso Corbaro and Montebello), the dramatic walls which you can walk around, the old gardens over the castle rocks, really give you a flavour of the place: the foray into the Middle Ages can begin! 38 The old walls are waiting to be discovered.
Winter in ticino This only happens in Ticino: while over Airolo and Carì snowboards almost touch the sky, an hour’s drive further south, golfers hit their balls on the green courses of Losone. And you can even wear a light sweater while shopping in Lugano’s old town during the morning, which will last you until you glide on crosscountry skis across the sugary white of the Leventina during the afternoon. PURE NATURE, GUARANTEED You can also stay in the Blenio Valley and experience winter the traditional southern way: under radiant sunlight in a small, white-covered paradise, as a guest of the cheerful inhabitants of Ticino, who will warm up your heart even in bad weather. Or have fun on the snow, on the idyllic Campra, on cross-country or touring skis, freestyle boards, snow shoes, or carving skis. Or visit one of the famous Romanesque churches. Or perhps take a trip to Nara with its many attractions including a “Snow Park” and a sledge run, or Airolo, the ideal departure point for skiing, or the friendly villages of Campo Blenio and Ghirone, offering ski facilities especially suitable for beginners. Wherever people fly down the ski-slopes, in Ticino, you’re only a stone’s throw from the street cafés under the palm trees, and from a breath of spring air. YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT FROM THE PISTE TO THE STREET CAFÉ UNDER THE PALM TREES. 39 While in Airolo, skis almost touch the sky, the golf balls are flying in Losone. BELLINZONA E ALTO TICINO
