Great viewing point. Walking distance in one hour from Viona (Val Resa) or Mergoscia. Well suited for families. Tour is easy to do in autumn and winter. In summer there is a place to stop and stay overnight. Connections to Cardada, Val Verzasca and Alta Via Valle Maggia.

View of the Verzasca Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Verzasca Dam is an impressive sight and one of the highest dams in Switzerland, rising 220 metres above the Verzasca Valley. From this vantage point you will have a spectacular view of the dam's imposing concrete wall, which appeared in the opening scene of the James Bond film GoldenEye.
