Diga Verzasca @Ticino 🇨🇭
📍 Verzasca Valley, Switzerland
We passed by Diga Verzasca on the way to Sonogno, and the sight was unforgettable even from the roadside. Towering at 220 meters, this dam is one of the highest in Europe and famously featured in the James Bond film GoldenEye—known for the iconic bungee jump scene.
Even without stopping long, the panoramic view of the valley and the turquoise Verzasca River flowing beneath was striking. The surrounding landscape is dramatic and awe-inspiring, making it worth pulling over for a quick photo or simply to admire the engineering marvel and natural beauty.
📝 Tip: If time permits, park nearby and walk along the dam. There’s an adrenaline-inducing bungee jump platform open seasonally for thrill-seekers.
💡 Highlights:
• Famous James Bond filming location
• Easy stop en route to Sonogno
• Spectacular photo spot even without a long visit
