About this property

Surrounded by a lush garden, the Youth Hostel Locarno is 1.5 km away from the train station and the Lake Maggiore. The restaurant serves Swiss and Mediterranean cuisine and packed lunches can be provided. A children's play area with toys is available at the Youth Hostel. Table tennis can be played outdoors. The bright rooms have shared or private bathrooms and some have a work desk. Every year, various summer festivals are taking place in Locarno, most notably the Film Festival, which is held in August. The valleys in the Ticino Canton offer several hundreds kilometres of hiking paths and bungee jumping is offered as well. As of January 2017 guests will be able to use all public transport free of charge as well as being granted special rates for various leisure activities during their stay in the southern canton. You are given the “Ticino Ticket” upon arrival and it is valid until the end of your day of departure. For bookings of more than 10 persons, different policies and additional supplements may apply.
