Waterfall of Foroglio

4K Foroglio, Val Bavona Ticino SWITZERLAND アルプス山脈 aerialview

The Ticino is rich in waterfalls. The most spectacular one is near Foroglio in the Bavona Valley (Upper Maggia Valley). The water rushes down from a height of 110 meters and offers a spectacular sight with its foaming and splashing. The village is also very picturesque, with its houses that surround the church and recall the life of the past generations who grazed the cattle here and were only staying in the Bavona Valley from spring to autumn. To fully enjoy this natural wonder, we suggest a trip to the stone paradise around the waterfall.
Next to the waterfall is a pretty village, its houses are groupe around the 15th century church, where one can admire a triptych of the Germanic school (1553) and a painting from the end of the 18th century, originating from Rome The Virgin in the Temple. The typical stone houses used as granaries with stone supports in mushroom shape, on which the upper part is made of wood. They are ancient buildings, which are reminiscent of the rye cultivation since they were built to dry and store the grain.
In Foroglio there is also the Osteria La Froda, with a magnificent view of the waterfall. Here you can really breathe another life, look at the waterfall and eat a minestrone, a roast and polenta with cheese.

MY FAULT - Waterfall hike in Foroglio Switzerland

This summer vacations we decided to start to hike more, explore and enjoy our country a little bit more. There is only one thing, I tend to take the wrong paths which makes hikes twice that long as they actually are.
