Local description: Gambarogno is made up of numerous small villages that merged to form the municipality of Gamabarogno only a few years ago. The main towns are Vira and San Nazarro at altitude. There are smaller villages on the mountain, such as Vairano and Piazzogna. Compared to the urbanised western shore with Locarno and Ascona, the area is rather quiet. Recreation and hiking are the main focus for most holidaymakers. Gambarogno is the ideal starting point and retreat for excursions to Luino, Bellinzona, Locarno and the numerous sights in Ticino.
