New Tibetan bridge in Olivone

Inaugurated in 2022, the bridge over the River Riascio connects the villages of Sallo in the Olivone area and Pinaderio with Aquila at an altitude of 950 and 1150 meters respectively.

The bridge was promoted by the Gruppo Restauri Blenio and has a length of 70 meters and a walkway width of 1.10 meters. The load-bearing structure consists of metal cables anchored to the shoulders and the walkway is made of galvanized, non-slip slabs.

The path along the now new bridge is part of the old path, which is listed in the inventory of historic paths in the canton of Ticino.

The mountain path (white-red-white) is today appreciated both as a hiking trail and for cyclists, not only for the beauty of the places it crosses, but also for the numerous points of interest along the way, such as: votive chapels, dry stone walls, rural settlements and, last but not least, objects of naturalistic interest.
