Orselina is a charming village located in the Ticino canton, near the city of Locarno. While it may not be as well-known as some other Swiss destinations, Orselina offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Maggiore, the surrounding mountains, and the lush landscapes of Ticino. The village is situated on a hillside, providing excellent vantage points for enjoying the scenery. One of the main attractions in Orselina is the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso, a church perched on a hilltop overlooking Locarno and Lake Maggiore. From Orselina, you can take a cable car ride to Cardada, a mountain peak that provides even more stunning views of the area. At the top, there are walking paths, a playground and a restaurant to enjoy.
