Reviewed By albinaepaolo - Milan, Italy
The place is very big and the environment is exciting.
The combination of free raptors and people taking care of them in a safe context, allows you to perceive the stateliness of such birds.
Why do those birds stay there, without going away, being free? Because there are professional people who take care of those big birds and giving them love and receiving love from them, in the mutual respect.
We were two adults and three children but, in front of such a situation, we were five (5) children guided by our imagination, while the big birds were flying close to us (one of them, about 9 kilograms of weight, flying above my head so near me that it gave me a caress with the feathers of one of its wings).
Intense and deep emotions for younger and older people.
Thank you to the whole staff, who provided us all the right and needed informations, for understanding those birds and the relationships between the staff, taking care of the raptors, and the birds themselves.

"The Cardada-Cimetta mountain range offers a truly unique view overlooking the entire region of Locarno and Switzerland's two extremes: the lowest point, Lake Maggiore, and the highest one, the Dufour point located on the Monte Rosa mountain range. The summit is easily accessible from Locarno's city centre by taking the funicular railway to Orselina, then the cable car to Cardada (1340 m) and finally the chair lift to Cimetta (1670 m). The cable car cabins at the departure and arrival points were designed by Ticino architect Mario Botta."

Ascona was one of our stopovers on the tour aroung the Lago Maggiore. Esthetically, it was the most beautiful one.
Pictoresque views from any angle along the lakeside.
The Promenade, lined by restaurants, cafes, luxury shops, chocolaterie, some children play area on one side and plate trees, benches, boats and the lake itself on the other. Views of colourful houses on the hills, and nice horizon.
This is truly a quaint and photogenic, beautiful place to be at.

We had two hours of fun in this well structured, safe but challenging adventure park. I think this is the perfect activity if you want to spend quality time with family or bond with friends before heading towards the grotto or restaurant. We definitely will return next year to attempt the black route. Be advised that children have to be at least 1.40cm.

6. Botanischer Garten Gambarogno

Reviewed By N K - Rishon Lezion, Israel
Gambarogno Botanic Garden is a little far from other tourist attractions so it's unlikely to be crowded when you visit it. The garden seems to be somewhat on the wild side and it's sometimes not so easy to find your way between the overgrown vegetation. Nevertheless it's a real beauty with many types of flowering trees and plants. You can easily spend a couple of hours there walking the narrow paths, climbing stairs and enjoying the nature.
The admission fee is 5 Fr. and there is a box near the entrance where you're supposed to put your coins before descending into the garden terraces.

If you are cruising on the lake from Locarno or one of the other locations you have the choice of hopping off the boat to visit this little island. The island has created the most beautiful botanic Gardens with species from around the world. It also has a hotel on site where you can either have a meal or simply stop by for a drink while you wait for the boat to come back to collect you. Allow an hour or two depending on how interested you are in Gardens! There is a small admission fee of around 7 francs.
