ロドリーノの絶景の山頂・トップ18

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.

beautiful panoramic view - and we already have an idea of where the VAV will take us in the next few days

The summit can be reached quite quickly from the Capanna Albagno, and after arriving at the hut not too late and spending the night there, it is suitable for a short excursion, with a fantastic panoramic view of the snow-capped Alpine giants and central Ticino.

View of Lake Maggiore and the Monte Rosa mountain range

Beautiful little settlement. An asphalt road leads here. Starting point for challenging MTB descents towards Lago di Vogorno.

It's always nice to cool off along the Verzasca when it's too hot in the valley!

The road to reach this magnificent place was built as a military road during the years of the First World War. Monti di Motti is a group of houses with a small lake, you will have a breathtaking view of the Verzasca Valley, the Piano di Magadino, Monte Tamaro and Lake Maggiore. The Grotto serves as a restaurant, an excellent stopping point.

Here on the stones you can also have a nice picnic with a view of the bridge. A jump into the water is of course always an option, even if the water is quite cold.
