List of churches in Switzerland holding the Latin mass:

Looks like two possibilities in Tessin:

CH-6900 Lugano, Kanton Tessin (Diözese Lugano)
Chiesa di San Carlo Borromeo, via Nassa (im Stadtzentrum, parallel zum Seeufer),
erster Sonntag um 17.30 Uhr (mit Ausnahme von Juli und August)

CH-6914 Carona, Kanton Tessin (Diözese Lugano)
Santa Marta, Via Santa Marta,
unregelmäßig, Termine werden auf Facebook veröffentlicht
oder Termin per eMail erfragen bei: messacarona@gmail.com

I don't know how current this info is, so call to confirm.

Thanks for the info @meloncollie

I also got this reply from emailing the Diocesi Lugano:

	Quote:
	Dobbiamo comunicarle che a Lugano non viene celebrata una Santa Messa in lingua latina. Una Santa Messa in lingua latina viene celebrata la domenica mattina alle ore 8.30 al Monastero Santa Maria Assunta, Via ala Val 3, 6702 Claro. Cordiali saluti. La Cancelleria

Carona is on top of San Salvatore so kind of a cool location, and reachable from Lugano by bus.

If you are willing to train-trip to Italy (1:40h trip each way), there's one in Legnano (Traditional Ambrosian Rite) - but not in August:

Interesting. I did take a trip to Milan on Saturday. But Sunday I went to the one in Carona (Lugano) I mention above. It was legit (very traditional as far as I could tell). The only thing I noticed is they moved sort of fast compared to what I am used to.

This Ambrosian rite thing is interesting. I will try to remember it or research it more eventually. I see from a quick look at Wikipedia that this basically means pre-Vatican-II mass. Which to me sounds similar to the (F)SSPX which is kind of the pre-Vatican-II which started in Switzerland and spread to the US for example. But I guess the Italians have their own thing which resisted Vatican II independently (?).

Ambrosian is very different from Roman, and always has been. It is a Milanese thing.

Milano, and many parts of Lombardia and Ticino, as well as some parts of Piemonte are Ambrosian. The rest of Italy (and Switzerland) is not.

Our village is, one neighbor yes, another not.

Lugano and Bellinzona are not, Biasca is.
