Sightseeing and relax

The bridge "ponte romano" also called "Ponte dei salti" (jump bridge) crosses the Verzasca river in Lavertezzo and is a typical medieval construction made of stone. One of the most spectacular places to dive, is in the crystal clear waters of the Verzasca Valley, that offers different swimming opportunities. The river, with its emerald and crystal clear waters, however, can hide hazards. Therefore, pay attention to the warning notices posted locally. Source: ticino.ch
