Orselina

Lake Maggiore defines the setting of Orselina — the municipality occupies a sun-facing slope above Locarno, where streets, terraces and homes descend towards the water. At its centre, the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso is one of Ticino’s principal pilgrimage sites, established after a reported Marian apparition to the Franciscan friar Bartolomeo d’Ivrea in 1480. The Locarno–Madonna del Sasso funicular links the sanctuary area with the city below, underlining Orselina’s close connection to the lakeside.
