Casa Bruja - Mergoscia (Ticino)
Welcome to a traditional Ticino rustico that a German journalist and writer bought in the early 1960s as a writing retreat. He named the house "Casa Bruja", which is admittedly Spanish and not Italian. Translated, the name means "witch's house". In German, however, the Spanish "bruja" sounds like the "Bruch" in "Bruchbude". Because the rustico was not much more than that back then. And since then it has been a work in progress: whenever the family has been coming for more than 60 years, it is repaired - and above all improved. For them, the house is a very personal, individual place, sometimes with the charm of the imperfect! Here you can find a convivial atmosphere and at the same time enjoy the peace and relaxation of the place with a beautiful, wide view of the Lake Vogorno (also known as Lake Verzasca), Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains.
The holiday home consists of two buildings, each with two floors, a courtyard, a small garden with stone table with panoramic view, and a sun terrace. The house also has a private covered parking space with room for two cars.

Ponte dei salti - Lavertezzo
Ponte dei Salti – Lavertezzo: The Iconic Heart of Valle Verzasca
In the heart of Ticino’s Verzasca Valley, the double-arched Ponte dei Salti gracefully spans the emerald-green waters of the Verzasca River near the village of Lavertezzo. Built in the 17th century and restored in 1960, this medieval stone bridge is one of Switzerland’s most photographed landmarks — admired for its elegant curves, crystal-clear pools below, and the harmony between nature and architecture.
The turquoise Verzasca River flows beneath the bridge with remarkable clarity, winding between smooth granite rocks and creating perfect spots for swimming, sunbathing, or taking unforgettable photos. The entire area feels timeless — a place where nature, tradition, and tranquility meet.
Connection with Mergoscia
Located just across the mountainside, the village of Mergoscia marks the entrance to the Verzasca Valley and is beautifully connected to Lavertezzo by scenic hiking trails. The route between the two villages offers stunning views of Lake Vogorno, forest paths, and glimpses of rural Ticino life. Walking from Mergoscia to Lavertezzo takes around 3 to 4 hours, making it one of the most rewarding ways to discover the valley before reaching the famous Ponte dei Salti.
Why visit Lavertezzo & the Ponte dei Salti:

007 Bungy jump
This is the classic bungy jump; the ideal jump for first timers as well. You jump head first – with your feet and harness attached to the bungy cord and strapped into a full body safety harness.
Slip into the skin of the 007 agent: the key scene of the James Bond classic “Goldeneye” was shot exactly here on the Verzasca Dam. Experience this very special bungy jump together with your friends . More fun and action is hardly possible!
You will be briefed and carefully walked and talked through the whole jumping process. After completion of your Bungy jump you will receive a jump certificate.
Corippo
Corippo – The Timeless Stone Village of Valle Verzasca
Perched high on the slopes of the Verzasca Valley in southern Switzerland, Corippo is one of the most enchanting and best-preserved traditional villages in Ticino. Once known as the smallest municipality in Switzerland, this stone hamlet has remained virtually unchanged for centuries — a living example of authentic alpine life.
Its maze of narrow alleys winds between grey-granite houses topped with slate roofs, all built in perfect harmony with the rugged mountain landscape. Because of its unique architecture and setting, Corippo has been declared a protected heritage site of national importance.
Visitors come here to slow down, breathe the pure mountain air, and enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the Verzasca Valley.
How to get there
Corippo can be reached easily from the valley road or by public transport — take the bus to “Corippo, Bivio” and walk about 10–15 minutes uphill.
For a more scenic adventure, you can also hike from Mergoscia: a beautiful trail winds along the mountainside, offering breathtaking views of Lake Vogorno and the surrounding peaks before descending gently toward Corippo. The walk takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on pace, and is one of the most picturesque routes in the region.

Easily accessible yet surrounded by pure nature, it’s a destination that perfectly combines mountain adventure, panoramic views, and peace.
You can reach Cardada from Locarno via the funicular to Orselina and the cable car designed by the architect Mario Botta, which glides up to 1,340 meters.

Arriving from Mergoscia
