The MOST INTERESTING VALLEY in Switzerland - Valle VERZASCA / Lavertezzo [Full Travel Guide]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2019
- Most people who travel to Switzerland would first consider places like Zürich, Luzern, Bern, Geneva, Zermatt or Interlaken. However, there is so much more to discover in Switzerland; especially in the Italian speaking Part in the Canton of TICINO.
Go for a swim in the clearest waters in the cool creek near Lavertezzo. Immerse yourself in pure mineral water! At times, Lavertezzo can be packed; mostly during July and early August, while in any other months it is visibly less crowded. The other way to avoid mass tourism is to come here early in the morning 8 or 9am. Although a true paradise, the beauty of the waters don’t reveal the slumbering dangers: The Verzasca Valley attracts many, many people every year; everyone is happy to take a lot of selfies/videos or doing some fantastic stunts. Many accidents happen and have happened; people have even died here - that’s why it is very important to follow the rules:
- Do NOT jump into shallow waters
- Enter the water SLOWLY!
- Do NOT swim right after having eaten
- Do not excessively dip your head underwater (long lasting brainfreeze; hypothermia)
- Do NOT stay TOO LONG in the water - risk of hypothermia is VERY HIGH!
- Be aware of slippery rocks
- Mind other people around you when planning a jump
Besides the creek, the village of LAVERTEZZO is very much worth to visit. Go to see the beautiful stone houses and the baroque church. Right across the bridge is the OSTERIA VITTORIA, a restaurant that serves authentic local Italian Swiss (ticinese) cuisine. Give a try to Formagini, Mozzarella, crude ham, Risotto or Luganighetti; and don’t forget to have a bocalino of red wine!
Besides visiting Lavertezzo there are also other interesting places that you may want to see:
- Bivio, which is further up the valley; usually there are much less people than in Lavertezzo
- Corippo, a beautiful classic ticinese village, at an elevated site of the valley; it is close to San Bartolomeo
- The Verzasca dam, where James Bond Goldeneye was recorded in 1994. It is one of the most famous bungee jumping locations. A jump costs around 250 CHF, while subsequent jumps will be at much cheaper rates

So beautiful!!!! The water is so clear and can see the colorful stone down there😍😍
Hi Sandy :) I am very happy to hear that you like my Switzerland video :) You should definitely consider traveling there - In a few days I will upload another video about a cave inside natural ice :) Stay tuned! ;)
DjemoGraphic Can’t wait for ur new video! I’m actually planing to go Switzerland next year! But when is the best season to go there tho?

Handsome man! Wow!
Great video mate
I've been there and I jumped off that bridge! It was awesome!!
Hey :) It's a great place. I hope you had fun. I will soon post more videos about the upper Verzasca Valley :) Did you btw try to do bungee jump?
Nope. Just regular into the water. No bungee. I didn't even know that you could do bungee.
@@numero7925 Oh I see. It's one of the most famous bungee sites of the world. It's the spot where the opening scene for James Bond Golden Eye was recorded.
Well information. Good show.
woooow!!!😍🥰
Die Schweiz hat für mich viele Nr. 1, aber das Verzascatal ist bei mir ganz, ganz weit vorn, sehr gutes Video, wie so oft von Djemo, grazie, mercy, dankä vielmohl ...Diana
Hey Diana. Ja, das Verzascatal ist schon toll. Ich gehe dort immer wieder gerne hin! Vielen Dank für dein liebes Feedback!

Thx for the review will go to the Verzasca valley this monday, yeah!!
Your beautiful amazing country. Love that views wow! Very clean peace and ohhh i want go there
Hi Ruby. Thanks for the feedback, this is the Swiss Murug-Turug hehe :D Very happy to hear you like my country :)
Betul saya cakap. Sangat cantik sama seperti lukisan 3D yang berada depan mata. Tiada kata yang boleh dinyatakan selain indah seperti di dunia fantasi.
Amazing presentation, as always. It’s really great that you are more present in this clips now. I think that in this way they are even more inviting and we know that you really were in this places 🤪
Thank you Daniel. Yeah, finally after I am more comfortable to be present right in the place and explain more about it - has also a lot to do with the new Sony microphone that is really amazing.
The very iconic Roman bridge, really built by the Romans WAY BACK THEN, culminates 17 meters above the river. The fall is unforgettable. Make sure you know your way around and in deep waters before jumping.
Indeed, its quite dangerous to jump from the bridge. In general, this place has many risks for people who come for swimming. The bridge dates back to the 17th century and was rebuilt in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
Great Video ❤
Awesome place and super cool video! The water is so clear, we definitely need to visit Lavertezzo ❤👍😍👌👏
Thank you. Yeah, the place is amazing; I suggest you visit it in the first two weeks of June or last 2 weeks of August. In the weeks between, it's going to be quite packed with Swiss tourists. If you dont intend to swim, May is probably the best month to go there.
@@DjemoGraphic Thank you. I will wait until next year then :)
@@gpedersen6752 Although October with the colorful leaves can also be very beautiful. I am just not so sure if the sun will be good. Surely a sunny day in Autumn is amazing too :)
This is amazing, I should go there 😍😍😍
Hey. Thanks! Are you Swiss?
I liebe das Inhalt des Videos und planne nach Schweiz innerhalb dieses Jahr zu fahren.
Hey. Vielen Dank. Ich hoffe, dass du hier einen tollen Aufenthalt haben wirst :)
Thank you for video
Absolutely beautiful! Great video. Will be in Lugano early next June, might have to visit here!
Hi Aaron. Thank you very much! June, that is one of the best times to travel, because mass tourism is setting in the following month. Lugano is very beautiful. Especially the nature and Monte San Salvatore. Valle Verzasca is about 1h+ from Lugano. I highly recommend you to rent a car. Maybe you want to think of staying overnight in Ascona. It is very beautiful!
DjemoGraphic thank-you for your recommendations! Good to hear June is a good time to travel. May have to visit Monte San Salvatore if we get the chance!
@@cheersaaron June is the best, if you travel in the first two weeks. You should go to Monte San Salvatore, its so easy to reach, also don't forget to take a ride on the boat. A visit to Bellagio and Varenna (Italy, 1h from Lugano, but take a ferry at Menaggio) may be very much worth it too! I made 2 videos, they may be helpful for you ;)
DjemoGraphic we’ve got a stay planned at Menaggio for a few days after Lugano so I’ll definitely check those videos out! Really appreciate the personal advice. We will also be in small village San Mamete nr. Lugano, do you know if it is okay to swim in the lake?
@@cheersaaron It is definitely okay to swim in the lake. In Switzerland almost everything is at your own risk. If it is unsafe they put warnings. Regarding Menaggio, that is great to hear. The town itself is fine, but Bellagio and Varenna are definitely better. And there are plenty of villas around, there is even a church on the Menaggio site to hike up, all is in the video.
I wanna be there badly! So beautiful!!
I really hope one day you can make it. Well since you say it's going to be in a few years, I can maybe take you there :)
I really like the way you present and the way you speak...keep it up bro..
Hi Abdur. Thanks a lot :) I try my best to further impress you. Btw, where are you from?
@@DjemoGraphic well, I am from India and I am a travel consultant and also a travel lover. I am very interested in Europe.
Helpful video
Thanks a lot Tanusri! Your name sounds Indonesian?
@@DjemoGraphic I am Indian
Been there. 1. the Road up there is intense. 2. but it is wonderful!!!!
3. if you are afraid of heights don’t do it or be careful
Very well done! Have been there and you have captured the spirit of the Verzasca Valley very nicely.
Hi Hans. Thank you very much for your nice feedback. I am happy to hear that. Are you Swiss also?
@@DjemoGraphic Yes, actually from Hallau. I found out about your channel through an interview your dad gave to Schaffhauser Nachrichten.
@@hanniss9 Hallau :) Ja im Klättgi isches schön! Das mitem Interview hett mich doch grad ziemli überrascht! Hani doch vo dem no gar nüt gwüsst :D Danke villmal fürs Abonniere, das freut mi sehr :)
@@DjemoGraphic Jo, din Vatter isch anschiinend än Fan vo Dir... irgendwenn mosch än Pricht vom Chläggi mache... Wani au no empfehle cha isch Nordkalifornie, vor allem Highway 1 zwüsched San Francisco und noerdlich richtig Eureka. Wunderschön, nid vill Lüüt. Mir händ für 14 Johr dött gwohnt.
@@hanniss9 Tönt guet, danke villmal fürd Tipps. Ja s Chläggi wär no interessant, vor allem, will bislang niemert dra denkt dete hiizreise. Wahrschindli müessti uf de Rande gah und denn denki au Hallau und Schlaate driineh. Schlaate isch no cool wills chli wie uf de Alp isch und denn gits ja no s Julio Magus :)
been one time in winter before Covid very cold place but beautiful
Air yg jernih spt kaca
L'architettura è uguale a quella della val d'Ossola in Piemonte, bello molto bello
I have been there, i want to go there once with a wetsuit so i dont get too cold. When i was there, the water was numbing but it was still fun
Hiiii. It's really beautiful. Wet suit is surely going to keep you warm. It's only quite fine to swim if its > 30°C. Then, the sun will heat you up. That day it was cloudy and I got brain freeze for few hours :-s haha
Do you suggest to move inside and around Lavertezzo with bike? Thank you :)
I really wanna visit this place. I'll be in Milan in March and I'm planning to go to Lugano and then to Lavertezzo (same day, I know it's crazy but I wanna try it lol). Is it easy to find buses or trains that go from Lugano to Lavertezzo? Should I get tickets in advance?
Hi. Happy to hear you will be visiting Switzerland. In March the days are still not that long. Sunlight in Lavertezzo will be only until roughly 3pm. It will be really ambitious as with public transportation from Lugano, it might take you roughly 90 minutes. You do not need to buy tickets in advance but check the schedule on sbb.ch - I think you might loose most of your time just for traveling from A to B. Why not go instead to Monte San Salvatore or Monte Brè? They are just nearby, even Morcote is much nearer to Lugano.
@@DjemoGraphic Oh thank you so much for replying. I had no idea daylight was just until 3pm. I'm from Brazil and we don't get much change in daylight according to the season so it never occured to me.
I'm kinda dissapointed to know it though lol I was really hoping to see the valley, I fell in love with the videos showing it. I did hear something about Monte Bre and it's on my list too, I'll search more about Monte San Salvatore. Do you think it's worth doing the St Mortiz day tour in the B
ernina too? Obviously on a different day =)
Thank you so much for your help.
Dear sir
Why do we not find locals moving around in swiss villages???
Everywhere you see roads are empty. Its the same story with towns to the south of france.
Hi. I usually try to show places either full or empty. I don't like 2-3 people walking into the image, unless there are many I am fine with it. Indeed, in Lavertezzo there are barely any people who explore the village. However, there are numerous of tourists around the bridge and the rocks. Mostly during sunny days, the place is very packed.
My dream...
Hopefully it will become true
@@DjemoGraphic 🙏 thank you Djemo
@@DjemoGraphic happy weekend, take care 🍀
@@justinagritzan Thank you. You too! Uploading my new video now :)
Bro what language people speaks there? Italian right? Thanks
Hey Ardenado. The language in Ticino is italian :)
Thanks to this videos, the valley is over. Destroyed. Thank you.
Hi. Not true at all😉 This valley has been crowded since the 1990s. My video with 50k views hardly caused overtourism. James Bond Goldeneye im 1994 as well as the campaigns of the Swiss tourism board reached several hundreds of million people. My video hardly changes anythg. Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭
Bisch die nächste täg oh no im verzascatal, vilich cha me ja öppis zäme mache 😇?
Hey! Schrib mer uf Instagram @DjemoGraphic. Denn chömmer luege. Evt gangi uf Moleno (TI) isch wie Verzasca aber wärmer und weniger touris, oder ich gange zum Aletschgletscher.
Like St Paul de Vence........
Typo at 3:00 - 3rd paragraph, last sentence should read "strength" not "stregth [sic]". Some one immediately call the Swiss authorities!
Hi Rose. I did not even read it that much in detail :) I only noticed it now after you mention it. Funny that they printed it like this :D
@@DjemoGraphic This must be a grave injustice! Even worse than speeding 1km over the speed limit! Someone call the authorities! XD
Wegen dir hat es immer mehr Touristen. Bitte zeig nicht auch noch die anderen schönen Orte !!!
Hey Raphael. Ich gange praktisch jedes Jahr is Verzascatal und muess sege sit minere Chindheit hetts in Lavertezzo massehaft lüüt, das hett sich ide letzte Jahr nid g'änderet. Und wege dene 15'000 Views vo mim Video chasch beruhigt sii, MySwitzerland erreicht mit ihrere Werbig millione vo lüüt. Aber ebe, es isch immer no gliich überloffe sit vielne Jahre, hauptsächlich vo üs Düütschschwiizer ;-)
You should take responsibility for this beautiful valley and NOT tell people to come by car. Each summer the valley suffers a lot by too many cars, noise, pollution, and aggressive behaviour of motorists. There's only 1500 parking lots in the whole valley, against sometimes up to 5000 cars trying to find a spot around the most famous attractions.
As you heard in the video, I also mentioned public transportation. Furthermore, I do not encourage anyone to be driving aggressively. Regarding the parking lots there is the usual rule: "es hät solangs hät". Furthermore, the police is distributing a lot of fines, which probably is the most efficient way to regulate. Majority of the visitors are by the way from the Swissgerman part and the Verzasca valley has been crowded since I was a child. It was not really better during July/August back then.
@@DjemoGraphic I agree with that you're saying. You just made it look like it was very hard or complicated to get there by public transportation, which is certainly not true, especially if you spend several days in the region.
@@9aus that i agree with you
Take the bus.
I don't understand why the French left Switzerland, I would have been Napoleon or a Louis I would have put my whole army to take this land and make it a French territory AHAH magnificent
Haha. Napoleon complained the Swiss are hard to be controlled. He realized that and left. But Napoleons time in Switzerland had also a few good things, he offered Ticino a referendum to stay in Switzerland, which was confirmed. Napoleon the 3rd mostly lived in Schloss Arenenberg in Thurgau. He knew why it was nice to stay there. His wife Eugenie gave the castle as a gift to the canton Thurgau to make it a museum. I find that very honorable of her🥰 but lets be honest. France is incredibly beautiful too! Look at all the heritage and nature you got. Btw, je suis demi Français😊 salutation de la Suisse😊
Really doubt you can drink it, pollution is already present at the source of almost all alpine rivers.
You can😉
