📚 History:
The history of Foroglio dates back to the 16th century, when the village was first mentioned in a document as “Furio”. The name Foroglio comes from the Latin word “furor”, meaning “fury” or “rage”, which refers to the force of the waterfall. The village was part of the municipality of Bignasco until 2004, when it became an independent municipality. The village has about 20 permanent residents, but many more visitors during the summer months. The village of Foroglio is part of the Bavona Valley, which is one of the wildest and most isolated valleys in Switzerland and was formed by a glacier and is characterized by granite walls and boulders.
