Medieval Stone Bridge and Waterfall, Ticino

Highlight • Bridge

The old stone bridge is located in the upper part of the two-tiered waterfall, separating the two stages. It blends beautifully into this rocky landscape. From it, the view extends down along the lower part to the base of the waterfall with its lake and the town of Faido and its surroundings. To the side and upwards, you can see the upper part of the waterfalls between the rocks. A wonderful experience!

Piumogna Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall of Piumognas is 43 meters high, one of the most spectacular of Ticino! For nature lovers an unmissable attraction, even if you only have a few hours in the Leventina Valley. It is within easy walking distance, free parking is available nearby. The suspension bridge over the stream gives the powerful waterfall its name, visitors can watch from here this natural spectacle of rare beauty.

For a cozy break in the countryside there is a picnic area with tables. If you want to stretch your legs, you will explore the mountain along the trail and find other impressive waterfalls. The source of the torrent, on the other hand, can only be reached by means of demanding mountain climbs and is thus reserved for experienced mountain climbers. They will be pleased to have the opportunity to rest in the Campo Tencia hut. The torrent of Piumogna rises from a small mountain lake, only the size of a room, and is located 2'482 m above sea level.
