If you want to explore the Verzasca Valley by bike, you can load your bike onto the PostBus at Locarno station. Get off at Brione Verzasca, Piee and follow the Alta Verzasca Bike Tour. This tour is suitable for everyone and runs mostly along the river so you can admire the emerald waters of the Verzasca. Arrival is in Sonogno, where we recommend a visit to the Museum of the Verzasca Valley, which houses many everyday objects from the valley's past and recounts its history and traditions, such as transhumance. At the nearby Casa della Lana (House of Wool), you can watch artisans work sheep's wool into jumpers, jackets, scarves and much more. In front of the building, you can often see piles of freshly dyed wool drying in the sun. If you want to start a short bike tour directly from Sonogno, you can rent a bike right in the village. The village is easily accessible and there are several restaurants, two grotti - the Grotto Redorta in the centre and the Grotte Efra near the Froda waterfall - and numerous places to stay. If you take the road to Val Redorta, which starts in the centre, you can reach the waterfall in a few minutes (25 on foot, 10 by bike). In winter you can skate on the ice rink in the sports centre or go cross-country skiing on the 8 km trail.
