The Brissago Islands are two small islands in the Swiss part of Lake Maggiore, near the towns of Brissago and Ronco sopra Ascona in the canton of Ticino, administratively part of the Locarno district. The larger island, San Pancrazio, is known for its botanical garden, while the smaller Sant'Apollinare keeps its natural vegetation; both benefit from the mild, temperate climate of the lake.
