Airolo is a small town of 2,032 inhabitants, situated in the Leventina Valley of the Swiss Alps. Visitors love the town for its beautiful, slightly surreal Alpine scenery. In summer and spring the mountain slopes become a seemingly too-intense shade of green. The steep tilt of the hills, and the clearness of the mountain air, which makes every color seem more intense, contributes to the impression of unreality. In the winter, snow blankets the mountain slopes. The vicinity of Airolo becomes an excellent place for downhill skiing and other winter sports. Hotels in Airolo tend to fill up in the winter.
The town's biggest attraction is the Airolo ski resort, boasting 30 kilometers of groomed runs. Another attraction is Gotthard Pass, a mountain pass that offers amazing views and opportunities for hiking. The bridge over the Ticino river running below the town is another point of interest, a marvel of 20th century engineering. The best way to order rooms in Airolo hotels is through EasyToBook.com.
