Desolation on Lake Maggiore: cleaning up after storm chaos

Environmental influences on tourism at Lake Maggiore

The Lago Maggiore, an idyllic place for tourists and locals alike, is hit hard by the latest natural disasters. Strong storms have led to a mass rush of wood, rubble and mud that covered the banks of the lake. The cleanup has started, but it will take some time before the region is back in its original condition.

bathing ban canceled - be careful when bathing!

As a result of the storms, beach baths such as Locarna, Ascona and Tenero had to temporarily impose a bathing ban. Fortunately, this is now canceled, but the population is warned to only swim in clear water and avoid cloudy areas in order to avoid possible dangers through drift material. The safety of the bathers has top priority.

Restore the balance of nature

It is important that we are aware of how sensitive nature reacts to environmental changes. These events at LAGO Maggiore are a clear indication of how necessary it is to protect the natural ecosystems and ensure their preservation. Humanity must become aware of its responsibility towards the environment in order to avoid future disasters.
