The Ponte dei Salti is a medieval stone bridge with two arches over the emerald-green waters of the Verzasca River near Lavertezzo in Ticino. It was built in the 17th century and is considered a regionally important cultural asset. The arches have spans of approximately 14 meters. In 1868, part of the bridge was damaged by flooding (particularly an abutment on the right bank), causing one arch to collapse. It was later rebuilt in 1960. The Ponte dei Salti is not only a popular photo subject but also a swimming and diving spot. Some people jump from the bridgehead into the cold, clear water – although the current and deep pools pose dangers, especially at high water levels.

A beautiful tour through the Val Cannobina to the Passo Pantani. There are several "rest sections" ranging from flat to downhill. It gets a bit steeper towards the end of the pass. A must-do is the continuation via Malesco through the Cento Valli with its many sights, Re and the Ponte Romano, and breathtaking views of the valley and the railway line. Via Ponte Brollo and Ascona, the route then leads back to the lakeside road to Cannobio. I've ridden this route many times in spring and fall, and there was always little traffic. I can't recommend the traffic-free route from Malesco to Domodossola.
