day 25 – Return to Valle Verzasca

July 18, 2015

Peter – during some reading about Ticino i found a description of a journey up the Valle Verzasca in the 1960’s.
Max Rieple wrote in the book Tessin of the ‘Tal der Steine und Stufen’ – the valley of stones and steps.
we went back to walk, like Max, the many steps that climb up to Corippo, a village perched like an eagle’s nest, and round its maze of narrow, stone passageways.
once back down in the valley bottom we followed the stone-filled river bed up and downstream to Brione to end a hot day swimming in its freezing water.
