The Italian speaking Ticino is the most southerly part of Switzerland and one of the most beautiful parts of Europe. Burt takes viewers on a helicopter tour of the ancient castles, visits a 1000 year old mystic church, rides the Centrovalli railroad into mountain villages that have become national treasures, presents the traditional foods of the region, tours the open markets, and guides us through the towns of Gandria, Locarno, Lugano, and Ascona.
