The Fondazione Monte Verità is situated in the south of Switzerland (Canton Ticino) at Monte Verità.
The Fondazione Monte Verita and the cities of Ascona and Locarno have played a role at some instances in history and offer unique landscapes and many sights and visiting centers in walking or hiking distance and also interconnected by a public transport network. The latter also includes boats on the Lago Maggiore. Swimming in the Lago Maggiore as much as hiking across the hills and mountains is possible right out of your accommodation.

If you are in the external "Hotel La Perla", you should plan to drop off your luggage and/or check in before coming to the conference center. In order to do so, please request the driver to stop at "Hotel La Perla" when boarding the shuttle bus.
