Switzerland’s ‘sun porch’

Ticino has been nicknamed Switzerland’s sun porch (Sonnenstube) – rightly so. Five out of the country’s 10 sunniest places are located in its most southerly canton. The top spot is held by Cimetta/Cardada, Locarno’s local mountain, which has 2181 sunshine hours a year – the highest number in all Switzerland.

Ticino is particularly popular with German-speaking Swiss, who love visiting the country’s Italian-speaking canton to escape the cool, foggy weather to the north. The region has even more to offer than sunshine and warmth – namely a totally different lifestyle. It functions as a bridge between the north and south, the Alps and the Mediterranean, and is thus a melting pot of cultures and mentalities. Here you will find some of the best hotels in Switzerland.

Discover new places far away from mass tourism

"Since I own a HotelCard, we go on excursions much more often again and treat ourselves to the small luxury of an overnight stay in a hotel. Switzerland has so many exciting corners and with HotelCard, we are always discovering new destinations far away from mass tourism.”

A great thing for hotels

“As a hotelier, I appreciate the model. Unlike other booking portals, HotelCard does not take commission on bookings. HotelCard members are welcome guests at our hotel and are a real asset, especially in the low season”

Win-win situation for all involved

"I would like to thank the whole HotelCard team for their great commitment. In the meantime, our children no longer live at home and we use the HotelCard offer very often for short holidays. A great thing and I think it really is a win-win situation for everyone. Thank you very much and have fun and success searching and finding nice partner hotels. See you in the next inspiring newsletter."
