Baracca Backpacker Aurigeno is a tiny Hostel with only 13 beds, but unlimited access to the peaceful outdoors and homelike atmosphere. Situated, off the beaten track, in the beautiful Maggia Valley, in southern Switzerland (Ticino), just 13 km north of the Lake Maggiore, Locarno and Ascona.

The Mediterranean climate and Italien lifestyle makes Ticino to one of the most popular regions in Switzerland. Come here to take a `vacation from your vacation`. Enjoy your self in our unique, lush garden, beside wooden sculptures, waterfall, and with wonderful views to the historical church and the surrounding mountains. Use for cooking the fully equipped kittchen facilities and try some of our fresh herbs from the garden (we provide many different kinds for free).

For more activities look in the common room to our huge information board for the best map in the area and for multiple hiking, biking and swimming suggestions. More then 700 km of hiking trails awaits you and we like to help you, to find the right one, for your own personal level. Or rent a bike (10.- CHF per day), to explore the area and to reach incredible bathing spots at the Maggia River, from small gorges till deep and emerald green waterpools with sandy beaches. Even more refreshing, after a long hike, is only a jump into the waterpool from the waterfall with his crystal-clear water, just a 10 min. walk from the Hostel.

Welcome to the `Magic Valley` !!!

OPEN from 1st April until 31th October
