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.

As others have already said: It's tough, steep, and beautiful here! It's best to split the climb into shorter stages, so the 2,000 meters of elevation gain over 30 kilometers from Bignasco aren't quite as terrifyingly daunting. From Bignasco to Prato Sornico, it's rarely very steep. There are a few flat sections where you can pick up a decent pace. After Mogno (visit the church in Botta) and up to Fusio, things really get going for the first time. Many hairpin bends soften the incredibly nasty ramps, but your legs will still be tested here! Up to the Sambucco reservoir, it becomes truly idyllic, green, and quiet. There are a few tough climbs, but even here, the difficulty is still manageable. There's a fountain at the summer restaurant: fill up your bidons again, because there are only streams and gullies here. After the relaxing flat section by the lake, the final and most strenuous part of the climb follows. The scenery is stunning, but it's steep all the way to the top! Wow!

ビアンキーナ渓谷の麓、ティチーノ川の氾濫原の始まりに位置するジョルニコの地理的条件は、何世紀にもわたり、この地をゴッタルド峠越えの交通活動にとって重要な場所にしてきました。 眼下に広がるのは、ティチーノ川の中州へと続く2つのアーチ橋またはドンキーバック橋です。谷の右側には、サン・ミケーレ教区教会、サン・ニコラ教会（またはサン・ニコラオ教会） 、そして丘の上にはサンタ・マリア・デル・カステッロ教会がそびえ立っています。

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.

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