The MOST INTERESTING VALLEY in Switzerland – Valle VERZASCA / Lavertezzo [Full Travel Guide]

Описание к видео The MOST INTERESTING VALLEY in Switzerland – Valle VERZASCA / Lavertezzo [Full Travel Guide]

Most people who travel to Switzerland would first consider places like Zürich, Luzern, Bern, Geneva, Zermatt or Interlaken. However, there is so much more to discover in Switzerland; especially in the Italian speaking Part in the Canton of TICINO.
Go for a swim in the clearest waters in the cool creek near Lavertezzo. Immerse yourself in pure mineral water! At times, Lavertezzo can be packed; mostly during July and early August, while in any other months it is visibly less crowded. The other way to avoid mass tourism is to come here early in the morning 8 or 9am. Although a true paradise, the beauty of the waters don’t reveal the slumbering dangers: The Verzasca Valley attracts many, many people every year; everyone is happy to take a lot of selfies/videos or doing some fantastic stunts. Many accidents happen and have happened; people have even died here – that’s why it is very important to follow the rules:
Do NOT jump into shallow waters
Enter the water SLOWLY!
Do NOT swim right after having eaten
Do not excessively dip your head underwater (long lasting brainfreeze; hypothermia)
Do NOT stay TOO LONG in the water - risk of hypothermia is VERY HIGH!
Be aware of slippery rocks
Mind other people around you when planning a jump
Besides the creek, the village of LAVERTEZZO is very much worth to visit. Go to see the beautiful stone houses and the baroque church. Right across the bridge is the OSTERIA VITTORIA, a restaurant that serves authentic local Italian Swiss (ticinese) cuisine. Give a try to Formagini, Mozzarella, crude ham, Risotto or Luganighetti; and don’t forget to have a bocalino of red wine!
Besides visiting Lavertezzo there are also other interesting places that you may want to see:
Bivio, which is further up the valley; usually there are much less people than in Lavertezzo
Corippo, a beautiful classic ticinese village, at an elevated site of the valley; it is close to San Bartolomeo
The Verzasca dam, where James Bond Goldeneye was recorded in 1994. It is one of the most famous bungee jumping locations. A jump costs around 250 CHF, while subsequent jumps will be at much cheaper rates
