The Ponte dei Salti is a medieval stone bridge with two arches over the emerald-green waters of the Verzasca River near Lavertezzo in Ticino. It was built in the 17th century and is considered a regionally important cultural asset. The arches have spans of approximately 14 meters. In 1868, part of the bridge was damaged by flooding (particularly an abutment on the right bank), causing one arch to collapse. It was later rebuilt in 1960. The Ponte dei Salti is not only a popular photo subject but also a swimming and diving spot. Some people jump from the bridgehead into the cold, clear water – although the current and deep pools pose dangers, especially at high water levels.

Giornico's geographical location, at the foot of the Biaschina Gorge and at the entrance to the alluvial plain of the Ticino Valley, has for centuries made it a key hub for traffic along the Gotthard Road. Before you, below, are the two arched or humpback bridges that provide access to the island on the Ticino River. On the right side of the valley, the Parish Church of San Michele, the Church of San Nicola (or San Nicolao) and, on the hill, the Church of Santa Maria del Castello.

really a nice place to visit

How wonderful! Lake Maggiore with the Brissago Islands is an enchanting place. After a nice bike ride to the Sacro Monte, stop to enjoy the view of the islands and the crystal clear waters of the lake. The climb starts from via Gerusalemme (in front of the town hall), which leads to the baroque chapel of the Annunciata. You can reach the sanctuary by following the Via Crucis (chapels with works by Fra' Roberto Pasotti, 1999-2000) or by following the "mill path" in the valley (on foot). The two roads join towards the IX chapel, called "of the Jews", near the sanctuary. The building, comprising the church of the Addolorata and the house in a single complex (it was once the rector's palace) is in Baroque style.

While cars and trucks hum along the highway below in the valley, you'll have peace and quiet on your drive up to Carì. The road to the holiday home complex on the sun-drenched southern slope of the Valle Leventine is generally quiet, making it ideal for gaining altitude. Twenty hairpin bends with single-digit gradients will take you up a good twelve kilometers.
