Valle Verzasca, Alpine valley in Ticino, Switzerland
The Valle Verzasca extends for 25 kilometers through mountains, featuring a green river that forms deep pools between granite rock formations.
The first human settlements in Valle Verzasca date from 2000 BC, with ancient carved rocks called Sass di Striöi remaining as evidence.
The Museo di Val Verzasca in Sonogno exhibits local traditions through artifacts, focusing on wool processing and rural life practices.
Public transportation connects the valley towns via PostBus services from Tenero and Gordola, with stops at each municipality along the route.
The 220-meter Verzasca Dam gained international recognition after appearing in the opening scene of the James Bond film GoldenEye.
