Building land with great potential (77)

Orselina is located above Locarno on the mountainside, overlooking Lake Maggiore. Thanks to its Insubric climate, with mild, dry winters and moderately warm summers, a rich Mediterranean and subtropical vegetation thrives here. With over 2,100 hours of sunshine per year, the Locarno hill area is one of the sunniest regions in Switzerland. The municipality, covering about 2 km² and with around 750 inhabitants, is known for the Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church and the cable car to Cardada, in operation since 2000 and designed by architect Mario Botta.
