    The bridge is close to the road and fits perfectly into the landscape. The water is crystal clear, super clean and very refreshingly cold. You can even swim there in places or jump off ledges or even off the bridge, but you have to watch out for the water level. If you prefer it quieter, you can also go hiking from there. There are various routes there, including shady ones through the forest along the stream. A wonderful place that I visited twice and of course I will visit again

    Absolutely magical and a must see! There are plenty of parking spots and lots nearby. Although they are paid, we didn’t see anyone checking during our visit in February. You can park and walk down to the river and across the bridge, I’d spend at least one hour here. On a nice day, you can enjoy a picnic here too.

    Die Brücke liegt nah an der Straße und passt super ins Landschaftsbild hinein. Das Wasser ist glasklar, super sauber und sehr erfrischend kalt. Man kann dort sogar stellen weise schwimmen oder aber auch von Felsvorsprüngen oder gar von der Brücke springen, man muss dazu aber den Wasserstand beachten. Wer es ruhiger man der kann von dort auch wandern gehen. Es gibt dort verschiedene Routen, auch schattige durch den Walt am Bach entlang.

    Das Versascatal ist einfach Atemberaubend schön. Römerbrücke ist leider sehr überlaufen und den ganzen Tag sehr voll. Für 10€ kann man das ganze Tal entlang Parken was sich dann doch wirklich lohnt.

    What a wonderful, valley to visit, only a short drive from Locano & Maggiore... Wonderful rock formations a delightful twin arched bridge crosses the river and there's a lovely little restaurant there too. Lots of people swimming in the cool water.

    Fantastic place. The bridge is narrow, you can jump into the water, lots of people everywhere. On the other side of the river a path leads against the direction of the river which is a great excursion in itself but with wooden balls that can be rented the forest rolling tracks are especially fun.

    One of the beautiful man-made bridges in the breathtakingly beautiful village, Lavertezzo. Ponte Dai Salti is a 2-arched stone bridge in the Valle Verzasca. The height of the bridge is tad bit lower. The turquoise green Verzasca river flowing beneath the bridge in the beautiful valley is a sight that will be remembered forever.

    This zone is just as scenic as all the photos demonstrate. Paid parking is available but limited so plan your visit to avoid crowds. There is a regular bus service as an alternative. The whole valley is worth exploring with plenty of sights and walking trails for all levels.

    Stunning place, you can swim in the river, very nice view on the top for amazing photo shoots there is a restaurant on the hill serving food and w.c for customers. You can hike in the hills to enjoy the nature and the beautiful cabins

    Loved it so much!! Very recommended to anybody wanting an unforgettable experience. I had a terrific time jumping together with more ppl who were also down for the experience. The atmosphere is so cool. There are different jumps and usually is quite packed with ppl, families, and even pets. Tip: bring your arms near your body and protect your ears if you can. Some people use neoprenes but that’s totally optional.

    A beautiful place with clear pure water, nice view, great swimming and jumping opportunities, and several short hiking trails along the river. Water was a bit cold, but enjoyable on August.

    Unglaublich schöner Ort den man besuchen muss. Parkplätze sind überall genügend vorhanden und alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Wasser einfach ein Traum.

  • 5/5 R. K. 8 months ago on Google
    Magical green water the place is truly a hidden gem not busy even in winter. The sound of water with the colours makes it a piece of heaven on earth. i truly loved this part of Switzerland

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful. It looks like someone melted emeralds, mixed them with water and sent them downstream. The rocks are full of color and you can see clear down to the bottom through the emerald water.

  • 5/5 Jennifer Bou E. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s a good roadtrip to be done from locarno up in the mountains, the pont is well located straight next to the main road, you can find a place to park easily and easily accessible to take photos and roam around!

    Great place to be! Beautifull bridge, river and nature. Take your time to walk around, enjoy the view, listen to the water and feel the peace.

  • 5/5 Francesco A. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited several times in recent years In principle, there is not much to write about here. One of the most beautiful bridges in the whole of Switzerland. The natural scenery is simply spectacular. The entire Verzasca Valley is a work of natural art. Please note: in summer it is very difficult to find a free spot on the bank of the bridge and even more difficult to find a parking space.

  • 5/5 Wattuky 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place for pictures. For best experience, you need to be there early at morning.

  • 5/5 Hang C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very narrow pedestrian bridge, the guardrails are also negligibly short, and there are many brave young people jumping straight from the bridge into the crystal clear water.

  • 5/5 Bárbara de P. 1 year ago on Google
    The most pristine water I've ever seen! The bridge, the site, everything looks magical! But, please bare in mind you should be careful... Several warnings can be seen, but a lot a people ignore them. The place is breathing and yet dangerous. In my opinion, not suitable for small children!

  • 5/5 Sebastien H. 1 year ago on Google
    As expected, this place is extremely charming. Of course, due to its success, the place can get pretty crowded. You can swim there (keep in mind it is not a Swimmingpool). The water in the summer can get around 14 degrees Celsius (much colder in winter). There is a parking lot close to the place, and another one not too far away with unlimited time. The parking is not that big so may be challenging to find a spot if really busy. There is also a "Grotto" nearby on the other side of the river if you wish to drink something. If you are in the region, I suggest to stop and have a look!

    If you want to enjoy the serendipity, you should visit during off season. The place becomes heavily crowded during mid June- July. I loved my first visit there during May. I visited again during June to enjoy the peacefulness and became disappointed as the place was full of crowds.

    Beautiful location to hang out. Some shallow and deep areas as well. Great for swimming!

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Ponte dei Salti is a beutiful bridge in the middle of Lavertezzo village. It can be accessed from the main road via car or public transportation. If you arrive by car, I highly suggest to take the Ponte station. The bridge offers unique view on the Verzasca valley and You can enjoy the crystal clear water and interesting rock formations. In case of good weather you can swim.

    This place is absolutely beautiful. The water is so clear you can actually drink it. Unfortunately lots of tourists visit this place so I can be pretty busy in the summer. Just magical.

  • 5/5 Caio M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place, specially when it’s sunny. There’s a paid park nearby.

  • 5/5 divya h. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place. Enough parking around.. the total time, unless you're hiking around is about 1-1.5 hours. Very close to Corippo village too. Must see. the medieval bridge is beautiful.

  • 5/5 Miriama A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very very beautifull fairy tail place with stunning color of water with spots for sunbathing and swimming in a river, but water is in this time very cold so it is little bit challenging but anyway that's something what you need to see and explore 😊🤗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
