The Region Lago Maggiore offers all year round a rich program of cultural and traditional events. Among the most important ones are the International Film Festival of Locarno, the Classical Music Weeks of Ascona, the International Festival of Organ-Recitals in Magadino, the "New Orleans Jazz Ascona", the Ticino Marathon in Tenero, the exhibition "Camelie a Locarno", Ticino Musica Master Classes, the international horses jumping contest CSI in Ascona and many smaller events of local character. The Region Lago Maggiore offers multiple possibilities for hiking and walking on over 1000 Km paths. They connect mountains, hills, valleys, plains and will take you from subalpine to the mediterranean vegetation. The Ticinese gastronomyis largely influenced by the northern Italian cuisine (Piedmont, Lombardy). Almost all restaurants offer you fish from the lake or rivers. In autumn, game specialities are served, as well as mushrooms, and, of course, all dishes are accompanied by the excellent local wine. Enjoy the wide variety of sausages and cheese in our "grottos" (taverns) that are typical of the Italian part of Switzerland.
