Ticino – Madonna del Sasso – Locarno’s Wahrzeichen

Posted Thu Dec 18 19:10:00 UTC 2008

Das Kloster verdankt seine Gründung der Vision des Mönches Bartolomeo d`Ivrea verdankt. Diesem erschien in einer Nacht des Jahres 1480 die Jungfrau Maria, von Engeln umgeben, mit dem Jesuskind im Arm. Die Kirche wurde 1610 geweiht, sie steht erhaben in Orselina, oberhalb Locarno.

Wer Sie besichtigen will, kann das Auto im Parkhaus in Locarno lassen und gemütlich mit der Funicolare, der Zahnradbahn, hochfahren und bei der Haltestelle Santuario aussteigen. Fahren Sie bis zur Endstation weiter, so führt ein kleiner Treppenweg zur Kirche hinunter. Bei der Endstation befindet sich auch die Seilbahn, die nach Cardada-Cimetta führt, Locarno’s Hausberg. Ein Skiparadies im Winter – ein Wanderparadies im Sommer!

Orselina die kleine Gemeinde, direkt oberhalb von Locarno, an bevorzugter Lage: in der prächtigen Bucht von Locarno, umgeben von einer stolzen Bergkette, unter der sich die Ebene des Flusses Ticino, das prächtige Delta der Maggia und der See ausdehnen. Dem See verdankt Orselina sein insubrisches Klima, mild und trocken im Winter, mäßig warm im Sommer, das einer üppigen mediterranen und subtropischen Pflanzenwelt das Wachstum im Freien ermöglicht. Der schönste Balkon über Locarno. Und auf diesem schönsten Balkon entstehen die drei vom berühmten Tessiner Architekten Michele Arnaboldi entworfenen Villen. So exklusiv die Lage, so exklusiv die Villen: Spektakuläre Wohnarchitektur, geprägt von Licht, Luft und Weitsicht, durchdachte Grundrissen und großzügige Räumen garantieren ein Wohnerlebnis der besonderen Art. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst. Treten Sie ein…. www.wetag-orselina.ch

Trips are organized up to the Cima della Trosa for more adventurous participants, but if you would consider to life high above Lago Maggiore than take a look at a grand estate overlooking the Lake, Locarno/Ascona and the western Alps. Nestled almost 900 m above Lago Maggiore, this secluded estate features a 3 acre manicured park-like garden, spacious pool, its own little stream, a main house and two additional cottages. The setting is just fascinating and ultimate privacy and breathtaking panoramic views spoil every ones soul.
