Near the end of January it was a bit gloomy, and we were in need of some Vitamin D. So off we went for a weekend getaway to one of Switzerland's sunniest cities -
Locarno. Locarno is located in Ticino (the Italian speaking canton of Switzerland), and averages almost 600 hours of sunshine more than Zürich. Taking advantage of the warm weather we spent the weekend outdoors and explored Locarno's Old Town, dined along Lake Maggiore, and visited the
Sacred Mountain of the Madonna del Sasso.

| The church is situated on top of a mountain, where in 1480 the Virgin Mary appeared to a local monk. Leading up to the church are small white walls with murals depicting the Twelve Stations of the Cross. |
Your photos are stunning! Love love love Locarno (and Lugano). Looking for the sun? Head south! That's what we always said when we loved in CH... many moons ago... ;)
