Locarno Airport, located in the canton of Ticino in southern Switzerland, is a small general aviation and military airfield situated near the shores of Lake Maggiore.

Its dramatic Alpine backdrop and proximity to the Italian border give it a character unlike any other Swiss aerodrome.

Visitors are encouraged to explore the local cuisine including risotto, polenta, and lake fish.
- Pre-arrange ground transport as taxi availability at the airfield can be limited without prior booking.
- Check NOTAMs carefully as the airfield has specific operating hours and procedures due to its Alpine environment.
- Currency is Swiss Francs, though many establishments near the Italian border also accept Euros informally.
- The Locarno Film Festival in August significantly increases local demand for accommodation — book well in advance if visiting then.
