Foroglio with it's cascading waterfall and traditional stone houses form is probably the most beautiful place in Switzerland. The tiny village is located in the Bavona Valley in Ticino, Switzerland, about 35 kilometers north of Locarno. This sleepy village is known for its mighty waterfall.
Although Ticino is rich in waterfalls, none is as spectacular and picturesque as that of Foroglio. This spectacular waterfall rushing down a 108 meter high rock into the Val Calnegia.
The river Calneggia plunges over 110 meters into the depths. At its foot, the small settlement of traditional stone houses gathers around the 15th century church. They were built generations ago for farmers who grazed their cattle in the Bavona Valley between spring and autumn. Between the stone houses, which are now lively all year round, there are also wooden structures on stilts.
To reach this fairy tale world from the past you need to take bus (only public transport option). From April to October, there is bus service (www.sbb.ch). Easily accessible by car all year around (40 minutes from Locarno).
The best hiking and waterfall weather prevails in the Bavona Valley between June and September. This magnificent natural spectacle is located on the leisurely valley path from San Carlo to Cavergno along the banks of the Bavona. This is a pleasure hike but demands intermediate level of fitness and experience.
If you want to enjoy traditional cuisine with the best view of the Foroglio waterfall, visit the Osteria Froda. If you have a little more time and hiking boots, the two-hour tour Foroglio - Calnègia Valley is highly recommended.
If you are planning a trip to Ticino then Forglio is must aside Locarno, Ascona, Lugano and Verzasca valley.
Hope you have enjoyed my video.
