Chiesa San Giovanni Battista, Mogno, Ticino, Switzerland #2
Chiesa San Giovanni Battista, Mogno, Ticino, Switzerland
The Valle Maggia is a very long valley. You will get rewarded if you drive to the end of this marvellous valley. The small church "Chiesa San Giovanni Battista" is really an architectural master piece.
Magic Verzasca Valley (Ticino, Switzerland)
The Verzasca Valley is a long wild and nearly untouched narrow valley that is located in the north of Locarno, Ticino, southern part Switzerland. This long beautiful valley got its name from the river Verzasca with its turquoise glacier water (yees - the water is refreshing). There is only one serpentine road going up the hill from Locarno through Gordola into the valley. Just at the beginning of the valley is a huge dam. This impressive construction, which is 220m in height, served as scenery for the James Bond Movie "Golden Eye" and is since then an attraction to a lot of Bungee Jump fans, who are looking for an unforgettable kick ....
The majority of the tourist visit the dam and the well-known Lavertezzo bridge which is indeed a nice place to stop by ..... but the real gem of the valley is aside those two places and the landscape photographer will enjoy the rough nature.
Despite the fact that both valleys "Maggia Valley" and "Verzasca Valley" are so close together, the character of the valleys are totally different..... and my personal favor is the Verzasca Valley with its turquoise water and incredible rock formations.
Enjoy it
Regards, Gerry
Valle Maggia, Ticino, Switzerland
The Valle Maggia, north of Locarno, Ticino, Switzerland is a valley of natural beauty and is surrounded by steep, wooded rock faces and reaches from Ponte Brolla to Bignasco on a length of 25 km. The valley ascends 3000 meters from the valley floor to the highest mountain. Hundreds of small mountain streams and numerous tall waterfalls are feeding the Maggia River throughout its course.
During the years the Maggia River shaped a unique stone rock landscape which is really worth to visit.
But don`t forget that when it rains the calm Maggia River can be very dangerous. And one more point .... you shouldn't climb down the steep cliff to the river when rain is coming up. Once the cliffs are wet you won't have a chance to escape the rising water level.
Enjoy it !
