Lavertezzo-Brione Verzasca

In Lavertezzo, cross the two-arch bridge "Ponte dei Salti" overlooking the emerald waters of the Verzasca and follow the path that leads into the valley towards Brione Verzasca. Shortly after, you arrive at a picnic area with chalets. A little further along, going up the river, you can see the Orgnana waterfall.

In Ganne, cross the bridge and upon reaching the other riverbank, climb a little by stairs before going down again. You can also swim in the river, but be cautious!

Brione Verzasca is also a popular destination for bouldering enthusiasts because of its granite blocks. The bus line (Locarno-Tenero-Sonogno) passes through here. The route can be done in both directions, there are restaurants in Lavertezzo and Brione Verzasca.

Tip: those who do the route from Brione Verzasca to Lavertezzo can try the "Boccia al bosco," a wooden bocce course with thirteen stations.
