So in my opinion the following are the most fabulous tourist friendly villages in Switzerland.

Gandria

Gandria is located at the foot of Monte Brè and near Lake Lugano. Due to the fact that it is a car free area, the best way to reach this splendid village is by boat, visiting at the same time the Smuggler Museum which is situated on the shore of the Lugano Lake. There are also publicly maintained footpaths, where visitors would be involved by the beauty of the plantation of olive trees and have an amazing sight of the lake. Nowadays the town is a mix of tradition and modernity, many of the locals have families that go back for generations, and however there are settlers who arrived from different parts of the world. The top tourist’s attraction of the village is the Church of San Vigilo from 1463. It is a really worth seeing village with picturesque scenery.
