Verzasca Valley

Verzasca Valley

Recreation
25 kms
The Verzasca Valley is situated in the geometric center of the canton of Ticino. It is surrounded by the Alps with passes to the neighboring valleys at the altitude of 2000-2500m. The valley is very narrow (V-shaped) and extends north for about 25km. This geographical position and a very narrow valley floor is the reason for a very limited infrastructure. Verzasca is considered the wildest major valley in Ticino - one that preserved its original beauty and traditional architecture in form of old stone houses.

Bellinzona - The Castle and its Fortifications

Bellinzona - The Castle and its Fortifications

Historical landmark
15 kms
Since the year 2000, the Castle and defensive walls of Bellinzona have been on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The castle’s present day configuration is substantially the result of the intense and complex building activity carried out by the Dukes of Milan in the 15th century. Still today, these fortifications with their embattled walls, the towers and gates do not fail to astound the visitor. The authenticity and the excellent state of conservation of this fortified ensemble make it a very valuable token of the past.
