The Mendrisiotto is the Southern-most region of Switzerland and is characterised by gentle hills dotted with vineyards and numerous picturesque Old-Town centres. Famous for its Merlot wine, the region offers many activities such as grape harvesting (September/October) and various wine tours where guests can learn about wine-making, taste different wines and eat local delicacies. The Monte Generoso with its breathtaking views, numerous hiking trails and the new Fiore di Pietra building is a "must see" in the area. Guests can travel to the summit (1704 m altitude) using a rack railway which stretches for nine-kilometres along a truly picturesque mountain scenery.
