Ascona, the lowest town in Switzerland (196 m above sea level), is famous for its historic center and lakefront where you can enjoy coffee and aperitifs outdoors, and for the mild climate

"Ascona is Switzerland's lowest lying town. It is located at 196 meters above sea level on the northern shore of Lago Maggiore, also called Lake Langen. Ascona is famous for its mild climate, its Old Town and a lake promenade which is dotted with street cafés and boasts a Latin ambience."
