Hike from Mergoscia to Lavertezzo, Verzasca Valley (2019/05/05)

Opis:
(from blog: www.suisu-ni-oide.ch) 2019年5月5日のほとんどのスイスは遅い大雪に降られていた。歩けやすい天気を求め、南スイスのティチーノ州へ出発した。ベルツァスカ谷の入り口となるメルゴシャ村からラベルテッツォ村まで2時間半で歩ける。 途中でコリッポのオステリアでランチを食べ、壮大な景色、冷たいビールや美味しいワイン、新鮮な地元の食材、美味しかった！心が落ち着く場所だ。ベルツァスカ川の色は鮮やかターコイズブル色で、美しい背景になる。ラベルテツォ村の有名な石橋に着くと、夏でなくても かなり混んでおり、混雑が美しさを奪う気がした。森の道に少ない数の人としか会いなかった後、ちょっとしたカルチャーショックだった！On a cool day in May, when most of Switzerland experienced a late, heavy snow fall, we traveled South to the Canton of Ticino in search of hiking weather. By train and bus we reached Mergoscia, a cute little village set at the entrance to the Verzasca Valley, and started our hike. The budding spring leaves of the forest offered scant protection against the stormy winds, but the valley and its villages with picturesque stone houses made up for it. By the time we had lunch on the terrace of the Osteria in Corippo (I recommend a stop!), the wind had abated and it was almost warm. Our hike ended by the famous foot bridge of Lavertezzo. Its Instagram fame has grown to such an extent that you can expect crowds of people even in bad weather and during off-season. The green-blue waters of the Verzasca river are especially lovely here, so the bridge's popularity is no surprise, but after a lonely-ish hike through the forests it's admittedly a bit of a culture shock.
