Curzútt Historic Village

Highlight • Settlement

Curzutt is an ancient, extensively restored and characteristic village center at the middle station of the small cable car from Monte Carasso to Mornera. In 1591, around 700 people lived up here in the old Monte Carasso and sought refuge from floods in the valley and enemy attacks. The old plundering routes can still be found on the mountain today, which are now used for recreational and information purposes. In the dense chestnut forests you can still discover traces of early farmers as well as clearings that offer views of the castles of Bellinzona and the Magadino plain.

Carasc Tibetan Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This suspension bridge is a real highlight. You should definitely cross it. Fascinating and frightening at the same time, considering what height it is and what length it is. In our opinion, it is only partially suitable for dogs. Ours had to be carried.

October 2, 2024,🇨🇭Ponte Tibetano Carasc - Curzütt 🇨🇭🌞 🌻🌴

Drove down to Sementina today in bright sunshine. From there the path went straight up steeply. Past palm trees🌴🌴 and vines through steep chestnut forests. The path leads up a good 2.5 km, sometimes very steep but beautifully trail-like.

There are always magnificent views of the mountains around Bellinzona 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩.

Great experience. Is really worth a visit. Also feasible for not free from giddiness like me 😊

There are 14 parking spaces at the starting point, although it depends somewhat on luck whether one or more of them are free.

At Curzútt you can buy a ticket for the train from the machine and you can travel down to the valley.

A challenging tour that requires good fitness and surefootedness on some difficult trails with steep inclines. Definitely worth it.

The church of San Bernarda is one of the oldest in Ticino, if not the oldest. Rather inconspicuous from the outside, but inside the well-preserved frescoes have been painstakingly restored.
Definitely worth a visit.

The cable car ride to the mountain village of Curzútt takes about 5 minutes. From there we continued uphill to the medieval church of S. Bernardo. There you have a beautiful view of the valley. And further uphill to the main goal. The Ponte Tibetano. At a height of 696m and a length of 270m, it spans the Sementina river …

Ponte Tibetano with dog to do well. First part with a cable car to the Curzutt middle station.

A very nice walk. We took the cable car to Curzutt; the path is shaded and very pleasant.
After 2 km, we arrive at the Tibetan bridge; the structure is truly impressive.
The descent is very pretty and quite challenging.
I recommend it.
