Ponte della Pistolesa

Ponte della Pistolesa, Bridge in Veglio, Italy.

Description

Ponte della Pistolesa is a road bridge crossing the Poala Valley between Veglio and Mosso at a height of around 150 meters. It functions as a key section of Provincial Road 105 with single lanes running in both directions.

History

The bridge was built in 1973 to replace a damaged road connection that had been destroyed by severe flooding in 1968. Its construction represented a necessary solution to reconnect the two municipalities.

Culture

The bridge serves as a daily connection between two neighboring communities and has become part of the local landscape identity. It allows residents and visitors to move seamlessly between Veglio and Mosso, making the valley feel more integrated.

Practical

The bridge can be crossed on foot or by vehicle and is easily accessible from both sides. The location offers wide views across the valley, so it is worth visiting during clear weather to enjoy the landscape.

Did you know?

Since the 1990s, the bridge has housed Italy's first permanent bungee jumping center, attracting people seeking thrilling jumps from great heights. This unexpected use has made it a destination for adventure seekers beyond its role as a simple road crossing.
