We are a proud Swiss-based company, and we would like you to discover our great territory, especially in the Southern Part of Switzerland, called Ticino.
Ticino has been named from Northern Swiss and Germans “die Sonne Stube”, the Sunny Parlor of the Country.
Surrounded by stunning lakes, lush hills, and impressive mountains, Ticino is one of the best tourist destinations in the country.
We are based in Croglio, a little town in the Malcantone region, and from here you can visit and discover a lot of beautiful places in a unique natural context. Located between the Lago Maggiore lake and the Ceresio lake, it’s worth a visit to our company to enjoy the mild and sunny climate and visits many natural and cultural landmarks.
Here are our Top 12 destinations to visit:
