Miscellaneous news from Ticino
TREKKING
Discover the little known valleys of Ticino
on foot: the brochure “Lugano Trekking”
describes a three day expedition, a 44 kilometre
route leading from Monte Brè to
Tesserete (Capriasca) in 21 hours. The
variation through Val Colla is particularly
special.
SHOPPING
Foxtown Factory-Stores in Mendrisio is a
bargain-hunter’s paradise. From Anna Sui
to Gucci and Trussardi, 130 outlets offer
more than 200 designer names, with
discounts of up to 70 per cent off the usual
retail price.
DISCOVERY
You can take a stroll from the Lake of
Constance to Geneva, without breaking into
a sweat, at the “Swissminiatur”, the fun
park in Melide. It features an open-air
display of the most beautiful locations,
monuments and modes of transport
in Switzerland – on a scale of 1:25.
RELAXATION
The Acquapark California in Balerna-
Chiasso has much to offer: a fitness centre
with aerobics courses, indoor swimming
pool with hydromassage tubs, children’s
amusement park with playground slides
and a health spa with saunas, scented baths
and Kneipp therapy.
WILDLIFE
An unexpected perspective which will certainly
make you smile: grazing on the slopes
of Monte Lema you can actually see a
herd of Highland cattle. The animals seem
to be as happy as if they were in their native
homeland, the Scottish highlands. Their
milk and meat certainly taste superb.
WONDERFUL
Wonders are still to be found, at least in
Malcantone. The “Wonder Trail” begins in
Novaggio, where it ends after seven kilometres
and 13 information boards on “wonderful”
topics. The high point is the last remaining
blacksmith’s forge in Switzerland.
