⛰️ Monte Verità

Monte Verità is a hill standing 321 metres above sea level and a cultural-historical ensemble in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The site is located in the municipality of Ascona, about half a kilometre north-west of the old town. Situated on Lake Maggiore, Monte Verità was a well-known meeting place for life-reformers (Lebensreformer), pacifists, artists, writers, and supporters of various alternative movements in the first decades of the 20th century. After 1940, the place lost its importance. An attempt at a revival in the late 1970s met with very limited success.
