Castello del Sole Beach Resort & Spa

The gorge-like Verzasca Valley stretches as far as Tenero. Craggy mountains with altitudes of between 2,000 and 2,800 metres rise up on either side. Those who succeed in the climb can see the 29 km-long valley rising gently towards Sonogno. A bridge built in the Middle Ages, in the impressive Verzasca Valley village of Lavertezzo, has two arches and makes for a popular snapshot. The view of Verzasca from the bridge above Corippola is splendid. The Verzasca river flows right down to Lake Vogorno: in the mid-1960s, the Verzasca was held at Vogorno and a dam over 200 metres tall was built, creating an artificial lake 7 km in length.
