What to do in Locarno

In summer

Enjoy swimming at the lake or in the river! The best places in Locarno are "The Lake View" public beach and the delta of Maggia river (at the end of the camping Delta). Beautiful natural stone swimming pool in Ponte Brolla and quite everywhere in Valle Maggia and Valle Verzasca.
