Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01350] 'Madonna del Sasso.'  Pilgrimage church Madonna del Sasso is the symbol of Locarno. In the evening, when the floodlights switch on and a string of lights embraces the Lago Maggiore, the spot has lost nothing of its original charm. A historical cable train brings you up.

Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01357] 'Ascona.' At the end of the sixties Ascona was for Switzerland what St. Tropez was for France. The creative of the world attracted the wealthy and nowhere in the world you saw more Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces. The money is still there, but got older. Where hip galleries used to be now you encounter expensive pharmacies. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.TICINO 01382] 'Brissago Island.' The Lago Maggiore is famous for its exotic islands. The Swiss part has two: the Isole Brissago. The smallest is untouched, the larger (photo) transformed into a botanical garden. Happy flowering oleander proves frost is absent here, just like on the Mediterranean coast. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01587] 'Cannero-Riviera.' At this spot the shore of Lago Maggiore so much resembles the French Riviera that in the end it was called after it. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01593] 'Goats with a view.' While in high season tourists are trapped in the traffic on the road circling Lago Maggiore, a few hundred meters up you'll find perfect quietness. Take a hike and share the marvellous panoramas with the goats. The Alto Verbano offers the best slopes for such walks. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01628] 'Isola dei Pescatori.' The only true village of the Borromeo Islands is situated on Isola dei Pescatori, the Fishermen's Island. Once only the fishermen from this island had the right to fish in the Lago Maggiore. Nowadays the inhabitants catch tourists in their fishrestaurants and souvenirshops. Between 11 am and 5 pm it's a kermis, but beyond and out of season it has lost little of its charm. Photo Paul Smit.
