Welcome to Ticino

Dear Swiss Abroad,

The Canton of Ticino is happy to welcome you to its SwissCommunity pages!

Switzerland's only canton entirely located south of the Alps, Ticino is well known for its mild, southern climate and its warm, friendly people and thus a firm favourite with Swiss holidaymakers. But Ticino is much, much more…1869 remains a key date in emigration from Ticino. Terrible floods that year forced large numbers of Ticinesi to emigrate. Ticino is a canton which has seen major emigration, and is keen to maintain strong links with its expatriates or their descendants all over the world.

Enjoy these Ticino pages on SwissCommunity and "a presto" in our Canton!
