Tenero-Contra [ˈteːnero ˈkontra] is a municipality in the Navegna district , in the Locarno district in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland .

geography

Tenero-Contra is located on the shores of Lake Maggiore . Lago di Vogorno is located above Tenero in the Verzasca Valley . The Verzasca also flows through the village.

Due to the location at the transition from the Magadino plain to Lake Maggiore, a camping center with seven campsites has developed here along the lake . Next to it is the Centro sportivo nazionale della gioventù (short: Centro Sportivo Tenero, CST), a sports and training center of the Federal Office for Sport. This sports center was used by the German national football team as a training facility during the 2008 European Football Championship .

The community is accessed by rail through the Tenero station on the Giubiasco – Locarno line of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).
