BELLINZONA TO LOCARNO
Ticino
If the French accent of Valais comes as a surprise for many who think of Switzerland in
purely Germanic terms, the Italian accent
and
flavour of Ticino will come as a very lovely
surprise. Start in
(1) Bellinzona
, which lies at a confluence of lakes and is dominated by
fortresses that date back to Roman times. Head up the suitably named
Castelgrande
(Grand Castle!) and survey your domain. Next up is
Castello di Montebello
, which ticks
off every necessary castle feature right down to the drawbridge. Finally hike up to the most
formidable castle:
Castello di Sasso Corbaro
.
