The curved bridge with two arches, also known as the Roman bridge, dates back to the Middle Ages. It leads through the emerald green waters of the Verzasca near Lavertezzo, where it cools down perfectly after a long hike.

Highlight • Settlement

The most upstream town in the Verzasca Valley has preserved its urban landscape with ancient houses and alleys. You will also find the Val Verzasca Museum, an ancient bread oven still in operation, the Wool House. A place to visit calmly.

Ponte dei Salti and the Verzasca River, Lavertezzo

Highlight • Bridge

The Ponte dei Salti is a medieval stone bridge with two arches over the emerald-green waters of the Verzasca River near Lavertezzo in Ticino.

It was built in the 17th century and is considered a regionally important cultural asset. The arches have spans of approximately 14 meters.

In 1868, part of the bridge was damaged by flooding (particularly an abutment on the right bank), causing one arch to collapse. It was later rebuilt in 1960.

The Ponte dei Salti is not only a popular photo subject but also a swimming and diving spot. Some people jump from the bridgehead into the cold, clear water – although the current and deep pools pose dangers, especially at high water levels.
