Verzasca Valley
Verzasca Valley
Recreation
25 kms
The Verzasca Valley is situated in the geometric center of the canton of Ticino. It is surrounded by the Alps with passes to the neighboring valleys at the altitude of 2000-2500m. The valley is very narrow (V-shaped) and extends north for about 25km. This geographical position and a very narrow valley floor is the reason for a very limited infrastructure. Verzasca is considered the wildest major valley in Ticino - one that preserved its original beauty and traditional architecture in form of old stone houses.

Bellinzona - The Castle and its Fortifications
Historical landmark
15 kms
Since the year 2000, the Castle and defensive walls of Bellinzona have been on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The castle’s present day configuration is substantially the result of the intense and complex building activity carried out by the Dukes of Milan in the 15th century. Still today, these fortifications with their embattled walls, the towers and gates do not fail to astound the visitor. The authenticity and the excellent state of conservation of this fortified ensemble make it a very valuable token of the past.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
