  Baracca Backpacker Aurigeno is a tiny Hostel with only 13 beds, but unlimited access to the peaceful outdoors and home-like atmosphere.

  Situated, off the beaten track, in the beautiful Maggia Valley in southern Switzerland (Ticino), just 13 km north of the lake maggiore, Locarno and Ascona.
  The Mediterranean climate and Italian lifestyle makes Ticino, the only Italian-speaking Canton, one of the most popular destinations in Switzerland.
  Hidden among chestnut trees, waterfalls, and dozens of lakes in Ticinos largest valley, Maggia Valley, is the village of Aurigeno.
