Duration: 7 h
Our first stop in this tour will be at Locarno which located on the northern shore of Lago Maggiore. Southern plants such as palm trees or lemon trees flourish in Locarno and give the city its special charm. The heart of the city is the Piazza Grande, with typical arcades, is one of the most famous squares in Switzerland. Along the steep and narrow streets, one reaches the “città vecchia”, the old and most characteristic part of town. While strolling along the quiet, mostly traffic free lanes, one can find some ancient emblems, reminders of the old towns history: an arch displaying the coat of arms of the house, beautifully shaped windowsills, some charming portals, an ancient fresco; but the most suggestive and fascinating insights into the world of the old town are inside the patrician houses, the courtyards and the small gardens surrounded by bright arcades. There you can visit Castello Visconteo, a castle dating back to the 12th century. About a fifth of the castle has been preserved in its original state. During our visit you will see Piazza Grand, The Chiesa di San Quirico (Minusio), The Old Town,Castello Visconteo, Chiesa di San Francesco. Our next stop will be at the romanic bridge "Ponte dei salti". 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.  Close to the bridge you can admire a Chapel from the XVIII century. This bridge, in the village of Lavertezzo, is a popular destination of lovers in the Verzasca Valley.Lavertezzo is also a favourite destination for bathers and divers.  After  we will drive to Sonogno. Sonogno, with its hamlet plenty of stone houses and typical alleys, is the last village of the Verzasca Valley. The ex-Genardini house is a characteristical residential building, which hosts the Museo Val Verzasca. The ancient oven of the village is still used today, and in the “Casa della lana” (wool center) the wool is carded and dyed according to the tradition to create artisanal products. Another point of interest is the façade of a house in the village that depicts an 18th-century peasant version of Michelangelo’s Last Judgment. Next we will walk to Cascata della Froda (or cascata di Sonogno) is a nice waterfall near the village Sonogno (Valle Verzasca) in the region Ticino, Switzerland. Walking towards the base of the waterfall and the pond in front of Cascata della Froda, you will have a great view with beautiful colors, where the river “Riale Carded” drops down over 70 meter and late spring/early summer (or after a rainy period) this is one of the more beautiful waterfall in the region of Ticino. After we will return to Lugano.
