Swiss Activities Tip

Avegno is a pretty village that was built in the 16th century directly on the Maggia River. Worth seeing are the picturesque stone houses and the church of Santi Luca e Abbondio in the district of Terra di Mezzo. The village is part of the protected sites of Switzerland. A signposted tour of the village lets you relive the history of 600 years ago. The tour lasts up to four hours.
