Tenero-Contra

Tenero-Contra straddles the transition from Lake Maggiore’s northern shore to the slopes above it in Ticino, bringing lakefront routes and hillside hamlets into one compact municipality. The Verzasca River reaches the lake nearby, and the entrance to the Verzasca Valley places the settlement between Locarno’s urban lakeside and a more alpine interior. Tenero and Contra became a single municipality in 2001, linking the low-lying shore with the older hillside community. The National Youth Sports Centre at Tenero gives the area a national role in Swiss youth sport, hosting training and camps.
