In 1901, intellectuals and artists in central Europe discovered paradise on Earth in Monte Verità by Lake Maggiore in Ascona. They made sure that the town would become one of the most important intellectual centres in Europe.

The German royal court enjoyed the Dolce Vita among the Swiss palm trees and at the time, the town was considered "the furthest outlying suburb of Berlin". Today, the city and its inhabitants combine southern lavishness, temperament and a lust for life with northern straightforwardness, cleanliness and emotional depth. A fascinating contrast which is reflected by the extraordinary selection of art, culture and architecture. Walk along the banks of the lake and follow numerous hiking trails to sample the "dolce vita" at first hand. Taste specialities from the region in one of the many high-class restaurants and indulge in a selection of fine wines. The exclusive SPA in your "Villa Saleggi" resort offers everything that your body and mind need to relax after a busy day.

"Visit Ascona during one of the largest regional musical events: whether a pop concert such as 'Moons & Stars' with Santana in the Piazza Grande, the world-famous 'Ascona Jazz Festival' or the classic 'Settimane musicali' held in local churches - there is something for every musical taste.
