We have been hiking through the Verzasca Valley and its side valleys at least once a year for 30 years (we have the privilege of owning a holiday home in Gerra) and we can't get enough. From Brione up the Osola Valley to Alpe Osola and, if you don't suffer from vertigo, to Sognogno is definitely a highlight. Back by bus...

Dam famous for Bunjee Jumping, thanks to a scene from the James Bond film Goldeneye which made this location famous. A beautiful valley to explore regardless of all this, the dam is certainly evocative and the view from the top is incredible.

Ascona is, together with Locarno, the most important town on the Swiss side of Lake Maggiore. Its lakefront is worth a walk, as it boasts many panoramic views.
