Top 10 Villages of SWITZERLAND – Most beautiful Swiss Towns – Best Places [Full Travel Guide]
Switzerland is a small country full of surprises and wonderful villages. Since decades, Switzerland has been attracting numerous tourists from allover the world. It is the Alps that fascinates most of the visitors but also the very well preserved villages. Although Switzerland is quite small, depending on the region, the villages and towns may look very different. In this video, the 10 most beautiful villages from allover the country will be presented in detail. While there may be a few that you might have heard of, there will be quite some surprises. Gruyères is THE place to experience the medieval vibes in Switzerland. The castle, the museums and furthermore the foodie world of Gruyères are really exciting to experience, do not forget to try fondue, Gruyère cheese and double cream! Zermatt is the most popular village on this list. Visit the many panoramas over the Swiss Alps, see the Matterhorn or simply explore the village of Zermatt itself! Discover the many beautiful traditional wooden houses scattered around this Swiss village! Visit what used to be the smallest municipality of Switzerland: Corippo. Corippo is located in the Valle Verzasca in Ticino. It's a wonderful village full of stone houses and very interesting: ONLY 12 people live in there! Surely, it's not crowded there. Saint-Ursanne is another medieval village; the town that could be in a fairytale. Saint-Ursanne is built along the river doubs and charms with its many medieval houses and wonderful abbey. Guarda - the town of Schellenursli - in the lower Engadin is located in the Rumantsch speaking region of Switzerland. It's far away the urban centres and very quiet. Best to visit during Summer or on Chalandamarz! Grimentz is THE stereotypical village of Switzerland. It's located up in the Swiss Alps and charms with its many traditional wooden houses. The houses are all decorated with red flowers; cheesy and alluring! Lauterbrunnen is another touristy favorite. The village is small but it's located in the Valley of 72 Waterfalls! Enjoy the scenery with its many waterfalls and greens! Do not forget to go up to Wengen and the Jungfraujoch! Epesses is located in Switzerland's wine region at lake Geneva! It's a wonderful village in the middle of the vineyards and definitely offers you enough viewpoints over the wine terraces, lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps. Stein am Rhein is also a very medieval and cultural village. The old town is perfectly preserved and charms with its many painted houses. Spectacular is the No e Wili play that is held on a 10-25 years base. Enjoy swimming in the river Rhine or dining at the Castle Hohenklingen. MORCOTE is the most beautiful Swiss village on this Top 10 list! It's located at Lake Lugano and charms with its appearance of being built at the hill. Stunning is the church Maria del Sasso, the wonder garden in the Parco Scherrer and furthermore the many viewpoints on the hill. Morcote is by the way considered not very touristy. Thus perfect to rank 1st among the Top 10 Villages of Switzerland! WATCH the ENTIRE VIDEO in 4K!

We travel a few miles from Locarno, Switzerland to Ascona by city bus for a walk around this waterfront village, with many pedestrian lanes, and delicious restaurants.

Ascona - The Swiss Paradise | Must To See | 4K City Walk Tour | Travel Video
In this video I want to show you some places must to see!
Ascona is a true paradise with its direct lakeside location, palm trees and Mediterranean ambience. Characterised by history, art and culture, it is now a popular holiday resort and the characteristic lake promenade make the small town on Lake Maggiore a unique bijou.
Even the first glance at the lake promenade reveals that Ascona is something special. Typical colourfully painted houses turn the former fishing village into a very particular place with Mediterranean flair that invites you to relax, stroll or enjoy a magnificent sunset over the lake.

Ticino TOP 10 Places to Visit: Lugano, Locarno, Bellinzona and much more in the Swiss Italian canton
If you are planning to visit Ticino, in Switzerland and close and close to the Italian border, I strongly recommend that you carefully select the places to visit. There are such wonderful places to discover! In this video, you’ll find the best tips on things to do in this region, with a sightseeing map of the most relevant points of interest to enjoy, so you can easily imagine and organize your trip: WHAT to see, HOW to plan your visit, and WHY to discover Ticino!
In this video:
- WHAT are the major attractions that you can't go home without having seen, including Morcote, Verzasca valley and Corippo, Ascona, Bellinzona and its Tibetan bridge, Locarno,
Bellinzona, Lugano, Foroglio.
- Then, I’ll describe HOW to follow a tour to better visit Ticino, with a clear map of the region.
- Finally, we’ll discover WHY to visit Ticino, with its heritage and nature.
But let’s start from the beginning: Ticino, south of Switzerland or, if you want, the Italian flair of Switzerland!
Yes, there is a feel of Italy, looking for example at the alleys that lead to squares and promenades.
But the Alps are always close by.
From mountains to Ticino's lakes, you can enjoy your time in the colder season and in the summertime, letting yourself immerse in all its nature and historical heritage.
So, what are the best attractions you cannot miss if you visit this wonderful land?
MORCOTE
From the city of Lugano you can easily reach the former fishing village of Morcote, one of the most frequently photographed places in Ticino, voted Switzerland's most beautiful village in 2016. A spectacular Way of the Cross leads up about 400 steps to the church of Santa Maria del Sasso.
VALLE VERZASCA
Verzasca Valley is the most fascinating valley of Ticino, to be experienced at the bottom for romantics and families, and at high altitude for the adventurous. Visit the picturesque double arches of the Ponte dei Salti, in Lavertezzo. Walk the Boccia al Bosco trail where, with a 'boccia' ball in your hand, you can walk and have fun in the woods. At the entrance to the valley is the Verzasca dam, where James Bond once jumped! And, in this valley, you can also admire the village of Corippo.
ASCONA
Ascona is a real treasure! It’s the lowest Switzerland town, located at 196 meters above sea level, and it’s famous for its mild climate, the Old Town and the lake promenade.
BELLINZONA
In Bellinzona, the capital of Ticino, you can explore narrow streets and squares, examples of centuries of history written by Romans, Lombards and Swiss. Picturesque corners, courtyards and neo-Classical facades, can remember you a Lombardy town. The skyline of Bellinzona is defined by three of the best-preserved medieval castles in Switzerland, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
PONTE TIBETANO CARASC
The tibetan bridge Carasc allows the passage of the rugged valley that separates the communities of Sementina and Monte Carasso, two villages located in front of Bellinzona. It is a unique experience to go through its 270 meters, at 130 m above the ground!
LOCARNO
Locarno, located on the northern shore of Lago Maggiore, is the town with the warmest climate in Switzerland. Palm trees and lemon trees give the city its special charm. The heart of the city is Piazza Grande. Castello Visconteo, a castle dating back to the 12th century, lies at the edge of the Old Town. But maybe the best attraction of the city, with its extraordinary view, is the church of Madonna del Sasso.
BELLINZONA-LOCARNO CYCLE ROUTE ALONG THE TICINO RIVER
50 kilometers (31 miles) of cycle path surrounded by greenery and along the Ticino river.
Here the link to the GPS route:
LUGANO
Lugano, the largest town of Ticino, is not only the Switzerland's third most important financial centre, but also a town of parks, villas and sacred buildings. By the lakeside promenade are the Belvedere Gardens.
FOROGLIO
In the scenic village of Foroglio you can find peace, stone houses called “Rustici”, and an amazing waterfall. It’s probably the most beautiful village to visit in Ticino along with Morcote, Ascona and Corippo.
FOOD TIPS
The final bonus track is of course about food: in Ticino you can taste polenta, minestrone, risotto and much more.
