A jump from the Verzasca Dam was the opening scene of James Bond's "Golden Eye". The jump lasts 7.5 seconds, as the height of the dam is 220m -- it is supposed to be the highest bungy jump place in the world. Only do it with a reputable operator.
This dam is spectacular as one of the highest dam in Europe (220m). The construction of the dam was started in 1960 and completed in 1965. The water blocked by the dam forms the Lake Vogorno. It is possible to walk along the dam wall (380m) and enjoy the view of the valley from there.
The oldest church in the valley (built in 13th century), decorated in Byzantine style.
This old double-arched bridge is mistakenly known as "Roman Bridge".
This manor used to be former summer residence of the Mercacci family from Locarno.
