An adventure island for the whole family

Imagine the perfect family day surrounded by unspoilt nature and the charm of an enchanting island. The Brissago Islands invite you to a truly special experience, where young and old can explore, play and relax – all set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Maggiore.

A special journey into a natural paradise
The magic begins with the journey itself. Boarding the boat from Locarno or Ascona, you glide across the shimmering waters of the lake. Anticipation builds as the islands appear on the horizon – ready to reveal their secrets. Even from the boat, you can admire the picturesque shores and lush greenery that surround this little slice of paradise.

The moment you step ashore, even a simple walk becomes a real adventure - thanks to the treasure hunt "Search of the lost flowers". Now it’s time to join in and become true explorers! With a map in hand, off you go! From one station to the next, the hunt leads you through the island’s enchanting corners – along hidden paths and through breathtaking scenery.

Every step holds a surprise: from the bamboo grove to the magical forest, from the picturesque reed thickets to the Roman bath with its fascinating fountain. The walk among rare flowers and exotic plants becomes a journey of wonder – with sunlight filtering through the leaves and the air filled with the scent of nature.

The green heart of the island
At the heart of the island, the botanical garden offers a sensory journey across the five continents, with plant species from all over the world, making the visit a unique experience – like a miniature world tour.

Finally, the highlight of the adventure: the lost flower has been found! Of course, a photo is a must to capture this special moment. The mission is complete, leaving behind the unforgettable joy of having experienced something truly unique in an extraordinary place.

After all the adventures, it’s time for a well-deserved break. The restaurant at Villa Emden welcomes you to its panoramic terrace, offering a moment of pure relaxation with delicious dishes and an unrivalled view of the lake. Between laughter, stories of the day’s adventures, and a delightful outdoor lunch, the magic of the Brissago Islands continues to unfold.

The Brissago Islands are more than just a destination – they are an experience to be discovered and remembered. An adventure for the whole family, where play and exploration meet the beauty of nature. Discover more exciting treasure hunts in the Ascona-Locarno region with Pardy, our friendly mascot!
