Switzerland in Italian: palm-lined lakes, green river gorges and stone villages in the valleys.

South of the Alps Switzerland speaks Italian and grows palms. Lugano and Locarno sit on their lakes, the three castles of Bellinzona are a UNESCO site, and the Verzasca and Maggia valleys have river water so green it looks painted — the gorges are Europe’s best-known canyoning ground. Stone villages, grottos with polenta and merlot, and trails for every legs.
