Winterland Ascona-Locarno

From 19 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, Winterland expands and becomes Winterland Ascona-Locarno, a major winter event bringing Ascona and Locarno together in a unique experience of ice, light, music, gastronomy and entertainment.

The new edition is inspired by the fairy tale “The Melody of Light”, which will bring both destinations to life through projections and light installations.

In Locarno, the heart of the event remains Piazza Grande, featuring the ice rink, artistic projections, light installations, music and concerts, as well as new attractions such as the Casetta del Gusto and Santa Claus House.

In Ascona, the lakeside promenade will be transformed into a winter setting with a spectacular 700-metre ice walk, the Lake Dome dedicated to gastronomy and events, and an artistic lighting project highlighting the historic façades.

A Christmas train will connect the two destinations, creating a unique Lake Maggiore experience centred around light, ice and magic.
