Itineraries to Listen To

Embark on an acoustic journey to explore a small part of the Ascona-Locarno region. A narrator will take you through some of the most representative places in the area, inviting you to enjoy the many wonderful things you can listen to, smell, touch and indeed taste along the way - transforming a simple walk into a complete, engaging, and accessible sensory experience. The initiative is a collaboration between Switzerland Tourism (in the context of the project with Podcast Loquis), Ticino Tourism and the four regional tourism organisations.
