The Pearl of Ceresio

Morcote is one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, also called the ‘Pearl of Ceresio’.

Stroll along the lakeside promenade and under the arcades, discovering the shops, boutiques and small restaurants: walking through its narrow cobbled streets reveals old houses with arcades and architectural details that tell the story of this former fishing village.

One of Morcote’s most iconic attractions is the Church of Santa Maria del Sasso, an architectural masterpiece situated in a panoramic position.

The church offers a breathtaking view of the lake and surrounding mountains, an experience that combines spirituality and scenic wonder.

Another place not to be missed is the Scherrer Park, known as the ‘Garden of Wonders’. This botanical park, enriched by sculptures and pavilions inspired by different cultures, offers a sensory journey among Mediterranean and exotic plants.
