Up and down the Valle Verzasca

The Verzasca valley is a 25 km-long surprise: you never know what lies behind the next bend. It begins at the Verzasca dam in Vogorno, leads over the Ponte dei Salti in Lavertezzo and ends in the charming village of Sonogno. Either way, we're saving the dessert for last.
