Autres infos...
The region of Ticino is located in the South of Switzerland. It is almost entirely surrounded by Italy which lies to its East, West and South. The lakes Maggiore and Lugano make up a considerable part of the total area. These lakes are known with the above listed names, but are officially named Lake Verbano and Lake Ceresio.
See:
- Bellinzona, the capital of the canton Ticino. The city is famous for its three castles that have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2000.
- Verzasca dam, popular for James Bond (Golden Eye) and bungee jumping.
- The Gotthard Base Tunnel (57 kilometres), the longest and deepest railway tunnel in the world. The Gotthard Road Tunnel opened in 1980 and is 17 kilometres long.
Hiking:
- Tibetan Bridge of Curzutt (270 metres). Four-hour walk.
Swimming:
- In the lake "lago maggiore"
The climate of Ticino, while remaining alpine, is noticeably milder than the rest of Switzerland's, enjoying a higher number of sunshine hours and generally warmer temperatures.
To arrive it is the best to plan to arrive by train at Bellinzona where we will pick you up.
By airplane you arrive at Milan, Italy, and from there ( airport Malpensa) you have a train coming to Bellinzona.

We enjoyed so much having you with us! You are always positive and ready to help. You did a perfect job painting the walls and you surprised me at my birthday with your no-bake cookies (recipe from your grandma)! We liked also your special American meal: potato soup with cornbread. Thank you for all your help! We would love to see… read more

I had the loveliest time with Bea and Carlos. I immediately felt like family with them. They were incredibly accommodating and so generous. I enjoyed the work I was able to do- a little bit of everything! Ironing, painting, weeding, cooking, and cleaning. All so enjoyable! Who can complain when you’re “working” with such a beautiful view?! Bea and… read more

Joao was our first workawayer and so we had no experience how to organize ourselves but it turned out to be a wonderful time of exchanges and help and laughters. Joao was helping us to paint and he did any kind of work in the garden and in the house. He kooked brasilian specialities and with his spirit of making us laugh we had a good time… read more

Beatrice and Carlos turned out to be as my family. They were more than friends. I could say their place seems like a fairy tale. It's got everything. The view, the dog, the house, extremely nice neighboorhood,and so many other details. But most important ever was their company. It's not easy for me to describe my experience with them. All I can… read more

My Bea and Carlos. What a lovely experience I had with you! You welcomed me in your house as a family member and helped me explore and learn so much about your country (and Italy, of course). My time there was too short and I hope to see you again! I miss you already! Love and Kisses. Sune x

You showed us how fast you can learn, even the Italian language! "Buona fortuna!" The painting you did in our house is the result of your love for arts. My students at school liked your… read more

Grazie mille a Bea e Carlos! Per me era un tempo indimenticabile!
This was my first time being a workawayer and after being received so wonderfully I can only recommend it! Bea and Carlos are very hospitable, open and caring and Speedy is the sweetest dog I ever met - always looking for someone to caress him.
Thanks again!!
