How to choose
A proposal built with care.
Two atmospheres within one region
Locarno suggests its square, cinema, storytelling and movement; Ascona evokes lake, art, wellbeing and intimate conversation. We select one base or connect both only when timing and transfers keep the programme fluid.
Creative formats and group activities
Video production, urban mission, collective artwork or food workshop can focus on communication and roles. Moments on the lake, nearby or in the valleys depend on season, weather, access and partner availability.
From company day to corporate retreat
For a few hours we focus on one objective and activity. A full day may add welcome, lunch, a second module and debrief. For a retreat we assess work and accommodation without naming unconfirmed properties.
Mobility and a wet-weather plan
We define the base—Locarno, Ascona, hotel or station—and calculate real transfers. For an outdoor programme, conditions, adaptations and an indoor alternative are checked before confirmation.
From objective to one complete quotation
Ticino Select collects the brief, selects activities, venue and services, checks availability and conditions with the professionals involved and presents one complete proposal. The client confirms and pays Ticino Select; individual services are delivered by the partners named in the proposal.

Frequently asked questions
Useful answers.
Is Locarno or Ascona better for team building?
It depends on pace: Locarno may suit urban creative challenges; Ascona smaller groups and retreats. Participants, mobility and objective determine the choice.
Can you organise a corporate retreat?
Yes. We can assess activities, work sessions, dining and accommodation; properties, availability and conditions are confirmed first.
Are lake activities always available?
No. They depend on season, weather, operating conditions and partner availability and are never included without a check.
How do we receive the programme and price?
After the brief we check feasibility, availability, included services and conditions. You receive a clear, non-binding Ticino Select quotation; the initial enquiry is not a booking.
