Quartino straddles the transport corridor across Ticino’s Magadino Plain, and its position between Lake Maggiore and the lower Ticino valley has made it part of the long-established link between Locarno and Bellinzona. The settlement belongs to the municipality of Gambarogno, created in 2010 through the merger of several lakeside communities. Fields and commercial areas share the flat plain, while slopes rise rapidly behind the Gambarogno shore. The parish church of San Pietro is a local architectural landmark. Lake Maggiore also places Italian-speaking Quartino in an Alpine lake region extending into Italy. Discover how Quartino connects the lake shore, plain and nearby towns by browsing webcams nearby.
