Lavertezzo is a municipality in the Verzasca Valley. It belongs to the district of Locarno in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.
The romantic village of Lavertezzo 545 m above sea level with its rustici is a good starting point to discover the original Valle Verzasca and its side valleys.
Lavertezzo is the most famous destination in the Verzasca Valley. Also worth seeing in Lavertezzo is the 18th century parish church of Madonna degli Angeli, the only baroque church in the valley.
The Valle Verzasca is a natural, even wild valley with steep slopes and countless waterfalls. Over bizarrely shaped, smoothly polished rocks in the narrow valley flows the clear, emerald waters of the river Verzasca.
The Ponte dei Salti, falsely referred as the “Roman bridge”, is the old double-arched stone bridge over the river Verzasca. In fact, the construction dates back to the two bold arches from the 17th century. The beautiful bridge is the starting point of several hiking trails, scenic walks through impressive and beautiful landscapes.
