Amazing Ascona

An enchanting place filled with charm, art, and nature

You’ll love the variety of Ascona. Romantic walks along the lake shore, hikes in the mountains, or a mouth-watering dinner: Get ready for unforgettable moments.

Have you ever strolled along Ascona’s famous lungolago, its elegant lakeside promenade? Just imagine: The soft sparkle of Lake Maggiore, the quiet rippling of the waves, and the gentle touch of the breeze carrying the scent of the lake. It’s a place where time and space melt together, where your everyday routine gives way to special moments, and you can immerse yourself heart and soul in your holiday.

Pastel-coloured facades and pretty cafés line your path. The Alps tower in the background, like silent guardians watching over the idyllic town. Life on the promenade follows its own gentle rhythm: people laughing, boats gliding peacefully over the water, and the colours of the lake transforming as the day rolls by.

You sit at a table at one of the cafés, enjoy a freshly made cappuccino, and watch the peaceful scene. There’s no need to hurry here. Simply relish the tranquillity and that special feeling that comes when you’re immersed in the present moment. Perhaps you have a book with you. Perhaps you simply let your thoughts drift. Here in Ascona, time is yours to enjoy as you please.

And as day gives way to evening, the sunset bathes the lake in warm gold and the lights along the promenade begin to twinkle like stars, reflected in the water. Have you ever experienced a moment that was somehow both calming and uplifting at the same time?

But Ascona is much more than just a pretty setting. Art lovers will adore the Museo Comunale d’Arte Moderna. The works of Paul Klee and Alexej von Jawlensky exhibited here demonstrate the importance that Ascona once had for European Modernism. And if you’re interested in history, you simply have to visit Monte Verità. This mountain was once a magnet for artists, philosophers, and free spirits looking for new ways of living.

Whatever you’ve got your heart set on during your holiday, our Vista Lakefront Boutique Hotel is the ideal base for discovering Ascona. See you soon!
