It’s time to get active!
For adventurers. For risk takers. For water fans.
Ticino. Lake Maggiore. The mountains. The scenery. The valleys. The climate. Our sun-blessed canton takes all these ingredients and turns them into a colourful pot-pourri of sporting activities and challenges. Vista Lakefront Boutique Hotel is your sport hotel by the lake. From here, you can scale peaks, hike to mountain huts and pastures, and dive into the turquoise waters of the lake. And did we mention sailing, golf, tennis, biking, climbing, trail running, and paragliding?
Ascona is also the venue for exciting sports events. Take a look at our event calendar.
How about experiencing a polo tournament, for example?
Hiking and mountaineering
1,400 kilometres.
That’s how long the hiking network is in and around the Lake Maggiore area.
As a result, the choice of hiking and mountaineering tours for all fitness levels is also huge.
The Vista team will be happy to advise you and provide you with the odd insider tip.
What mustn’t you miss? A trip to Cimetta or Gridone.
Is Pizzo Leone calling?
Then off you go!
Golfing
Two 18-hole championship courses offer ideal golf conditions in and around Ascona.
You’ll spend enjoyably challenging hours on the manicured fairways,
always surrounded by the impressive mountains of Ticino.
And what better place to review your round than on the terrace at The Mira View?
Mini-golf
Hours of fun for all ages await you on the mini-golf course in Ascona, just a five-minute walk away from Vista Lakefront Boutique Hotel.
Cycling and mountain biking
The valleys and mountains around Lake Maggiore are ideal for exploring by bike. Of course, interesting cycle routes also lead alongside the lake. If you don’t bring your own bike with you, we’ll be glad to help you rent one. Discover the treasures of Ticino on two wheels.
Are you dreaming of a day spent biking at the heart of the Swiss Alps?
How about a bike ride to Lenzerheide?
Water sports
How do swimming, stand-up paddling, surfing, sailing, water skiing, diving, pedal boating, or simply enjoying the water near the shore sound?
Or perhaps you need a proper adrenaline kick and want to experience the thrill of canyoning and rafting in the wild water of a mountain river?
Here at Lake Maggiore, your water-sport wish is our command.
If you fancy a faster pace, you can hire a motorboat (with or without licence) and explore the length and breadth of the lake.
Jogging
Delightfully simple and uncomplicated.
All you need to do is lace up your running shoes, open the door, and head out directly onto the lakeside promenade.
There’s a wide variety of jogging routes around Vista Lakefront Boutique Hotel.
Whether you head up into the mountains or along the lake, you’re sure to find a route that suits you.
How about a dive into the refreshing water of the lake at Ascona lido after your jog?
After all, your room is right on the lake.
And in winter?
When Ticino is wrapped in a soft blanket of snow, skiing fans flock to Lenzerheide.
Enjoy a fantastic day’s skiing in the world-class ski area in Graubünden and pay a visit to Motta Hütte and Scharmoin huts – part of Vista Restaurants – to give your taste buds a gourmet treat.
Simply divine!
