May 4, 2026,🇨🇭Verzascatal Traumtour Lavertezzo-Sonogno

Dream tour in the Verzasca Valley. By bus at 9:03 am from Stazione Locarno (Postbus 321) - as always on time.. past the large dam which is supposed to prevent the floods and landslides of the past in the valley (which seems to work) up the narrowest road to Lavertezzo Paese. There, the beautiful double-arched bridge Ponte dei Salti is …

The narrow and wildly romantic Verzasca Valley with its magical green, crystal-clear river, interspersed with rocks cut into fantastic shapes, and the lovely villages always invites you to go for a hike.
The bus number 321 took me to Lavertezzo early in the morning, where my hike along the rushing Verzasca began. Path number 74 (regional hiking route) led slightly …

Today we hike in Valle Verzaska, Verzaska comes from verde acqua, i.e. green water. We start the very beautiful hike in Lavertezzo. First we walk over the well-known bridge "Ponte dei Salti", the bridge of jumps. At the current water level, jumps will not be possible !!!
Then it's always a leisurely climb along the Verzaska, Sonogno is our destination. …

This hike is mostly in the forest and along the river that flows down from the valley or plunges between the rocks. This makes for a pleasant hike despite the summer temperatures. Otherwise, the pictures speak for the beauty of the valley and the hike.

Ever since I read The Black Brothers by Lisa Tetzner as a child, I've wanted to visit Sonogno. Today, the time had finally come: The post bus took us to the very end of the Verzasca Valley.

After a short village tour and an espresso in Sonogno, we began the 14-kilometer hike to Lavertezzo. The trail picturesquely follows the course …

June 15, 2022,Im Tal der Verzasca (oberer Teil)

We liked the hike in the lower part of the Verzasca so much that we walked further to Sonogno.
And lo and behold: the valley is much more open here and is more reminiscent of alpine pastures with meadows and scattered hamlets. Very beautiful!
At Sonogno you can walk further to the La Froda waterfall, but that was too far …
