Workation in Locarno: the essentials
Each August a giant screen goes up on the Piazza Grande and Locarno becomes the centre of Swiss film for eleven days. The rest of the year this Italian-speaking town of about 16,000 is calmer, set at the northeastern tip of Lake Maggiore on the delta of the Maggia, with Ascona across the river. Camellias and palms do well in one of Switzerland's mildest climates, the Cardada cable car climbs from above the Madonna del Sasso sanctuary, and the Verzasca and Maggia valleys are close for river pools and stone villages. The Centovalli railway runs west into Italy. Milan Malpensa is about 60 km away, and winter is quiet, with some places closed.

Locarno has a very small coworking offer not captured in OSM; prices are at Swiss levels. Internet is excellent everywhere, and cafés on the Piazza are suitable for work. During the film festival in August everything is full, and Lugano has more choice.
Spaces come from OpenStreetMap (10 km radius); prices are AI estimates for typical offers in town – please check with the provider before booking. As of September 2026.
