The route begins in the village district "Ai Piée" and follows the Verzasca River, known for its emerald-colored water, and continues alongside the path "Sentierone," also called "Sentiero Verzasca," one of the most beautiful trails in Switzerland. The route is characterized by the romantic wild landscape and offers resting opportunities thanks to the three available restaurants and agritourisms. Furthermore, in "Alnasca" (between Brione Verzasca and Gerra Verzasca), there is a wooden chalet with a barbecue area where hikers and bikers can rest and enjoy their picnic.
