River & BBQ at Meriggio

How to get there
Getting to Meriggio
We recommend going by car. Alternatively, take the train to Locarno, then bus number 7 to Caserma, followed by a 7-minute walk.
By Bike
From the hotel, follow the lake until you reach the river, then follow the river until you reach a bridge. Cross it and keep following the river until you get to Meriggio, a really nice ride.
Grill and swim
Use the self-grill and tables on the riverside lawn, then cool off with a swim where the two rivers meet.
Back to the hotel
Return the same way you came, by car, public transport or bike.
Good to know
No booking required. Bring your own charcoal to use the BBQ stations, and pack a ball if you'd like to play soccer.
