Schöne Brücke

This beautiful little bridge, which was only built for cyclists and pedestrians, leads from the suburb of Gordola over the Verzasca to Locarno.

Near the confluence with Lake Maggiore, the Verzasca River, the bridge connects the two banks of the Tenero-Contra and Gordola municipalities.
The pedestrian and bicycle bridge between Bellinzona and Locarno enables a 120 meter long crossing of the natural course of the Verzasca river.
The idea of the projector arose from the observation and interpretation of the location. In this sense, the "Ponte dei balzi" bridge in Lavertezzo in the Verzasca Valley was the starting point for the development of the project, which, with a clear and special structural gesture, at the same time made a material reduction possible through the use of steel.
