Ascona is definitely the most romantic spot in Switzerland. It was even voted the Swiss village of the year 2025, and it is easy to see why. With its swaying palm trees, pastel-colored lakefront promenade, and historic Old Town, the village captures your heart immediately. Are you ready for a romantic getaway? Here are 5 top things to do in Ascona.

One of my favorite hikes in Switzerland is the Oeschinensee panorama hike. Simply because the views around this mountain lake are insane. Every corner you turn, offers a different stunning view. From the vivid turquoise of the lake, to the enormous mountains towering over you and even some waterfalls. It blew my mind.

From Zurich there are a lot of nice day trips that are close to the city. You can visit the largest waterfall in Europe: The Rhine Falls, hike on mount Rigi with epic views of lake Luzern or stroll on a wooden bridge to lovely Rapperswil. And there is more ;-).
