Swiss Activities Tip
The Brissago Islands are also distinguished as Isola Grande and Isola Piccola. The botanical garden on Isola Grande is highly worth a visit. Besides Mediterranean plants, you will also find subtropical specimens here. Thanks to the particularly mild climate of Lake Maggiore, various environmental zones have been developed. These replicate the vegetation of southeastern Australian coasts, South Africa's Cape region, or central Chile, respectively.
