City - Locarno State - TICINO Country - Switzerland
About
The Valle Maggia, north of Locarno, Ticino, Switzerland is a valley of natural beauty and is surrounded by steep, wooded rock faces and reaches from Ponte Brolla to Bignasco on a length of 25 km. The valley ascends 3000 meters from the valley floor to the highest mountain. Hundreds of small mountain streams and numerous tall waterfalls are feeding the Maggia River throughout its course.
During the years the Maggia River shaped a unique stone rock landscape which is really worth to visit.
But don`t forget that when it rains the calm Maggia River can be very dangerous. And one more point .... you shouldn't climb down the steep cliff to the river when rain is coming up. Once the cliffs are wet you won't have a chance to escape the rising water level.
Enjoy it !
