Local know-how pays off in Locarno
Locarno spreads along the northern shore of Lake Maggiore, where the lakefront promenade linking Minusio and Muralto to the centre gives a flat, uninterrupted walk for dogs taken out several times a day. West of town the Maggia delta opens into popular off-leash riverside spaces, while the leash still applies on the small lake beaches.
When demand peaks
Demand follows a tourist rhythm: in the warm months and during events like the Locarno Film Festival the town fills with visitors and residents on the move, leaving their pets for a few hours or days. Residential quarters like Rusca-Saleggi and Campagna, with the adjacent Muralto and Minusio, concentrate families and commuters looking for reliable walkers and sitters nearby.
