Lavertezzo - an idyllic Swiss village
Lavertezzo is a municipality in the district of Locarno in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland and the entire village is designated as part of the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.
The municipality is located in the Locarno district. It consists of the village of Lavertezzo in the Verzasca valley and the exclave of Lavertezzo Piano in the Magadino valley.
The main object of interest is the 17th century double-arched Ponte dei Salti (Jump bridge), also known as the Roman Bridge. After its partial destruction occurred in 1868 it has been reconstructed in 1960. Close to the bridge you can admire a Chapel from the XVIII century.
The water in the Verzasca River, flowing under the bridge, is snowmelt from the nearby Alps. That means the water is really cold! There are numerous warnings posted about hypothermia, so this river is best for quick dips to cool off, rather than long, leisurely soaks in the water.
The river water is a crystal-clear aquamarine color. This is a popular spot for scuba diving. The rocks accompanying the banks of the river and its lower areas are smooth and easy to sit and lie on.
Due to its low altitude and mountain-sheltered location, vines, palm trees, and sweet chestnut plantations thrive in the lower part of the Valle Verzasca.
As the valley climbs towards the mountains, the climate changes according to altitude until an area with Alpine climate is reached.
