Easter vacations for families
Sometimes vacation planning alone is reason enough for an acute need for recreation. However, when planning family vacations, many questions arise in advance. Which region is family-friendly? Which hotel has something to offer for everyone? Are the activities on offer exciting? Are there child-friendly restaurants? We have compiled the answers for you here. The only thing you should do is pack your bags and head off south. In any case, Ticino and Ascona are perfect for a family vacation together. Because in Giardino Ascona all members of the family can recharge their batteries. Discover Ticino together on exciting excursions, try new sports on the lake or the mountains, and, of course, eat delicious and healthy food. While the little ones play in the Dino Club in its park, the grown-ups sit back and relax.

Family activities in Ticino
Still Switzerland – but almost Italy. The Ticino spring exudes a certain lightness and a touch of dolce vita. A fantastic alpine panorama, just waiting to be explored, opens up to you. Of course, this is best done in the mountains themselves, or from the water. Hiking boots, bicycles, and boats are perfect for getting around, depending on your preference and choice of activity. And if you prefer to take it easy, you can find your spot by the lily pond in our bar lounge or the warm spa.
