How to get there
Getting to Ascona

Sunbathe at the Lido
Located right on the lake, the Lido Ascona is the perfect place for a dip. In case you want to enjoy the summer vibes, you can head to one of the two bars: either the lounge on the terrace by the entrance or the small beach bar by the water, with its Caribbean-inspired groove and delicious cocktails.
