Val Verzasca - adventure in the making





Val Verzasca is a most beautiful valley just a short way away from where we live, it is beautiful in any season, as long as you still see the stone among the tourists who come and crowd it... :) It is definitely a location of outstanding natural beauty and a paradise for photographers of any age and talent. One interesting viewpoint before the car takes you all the way into the valley towards the elegant Roman double bridge, 13th century Ponte dei Salti, is a concrete monstrous dam, hydroelectricity is big in Switzerland. It is a place to watch fat American girls (forgive the shovinism) throw themselves trying to repeat the deed of James Bond from GoldenEye.

Our favourite part is rock climbing, and watching the life go by on a hot summer's day, looking through the pools filled with amphibians and dragonflies, building little towers of lucky stones, and splashing in the icy cold water.
We have a selection of the photos from the previous trips. Hopefully will get the new ones some day soon. Enjoy!
