What's nearby:
This splendid property is located in the nearby picturesque Verzasca valley, a valley of incredible natural beauty, characterized by crystal-clear waters and stunning scenery. The location of the chalet is particularly attractive, as it is close to the famous Ponte dei Salti, a stone bridge built in the 17th century that rises majestically over the green waters of the large creek. 
Ponte dei Salti is most famous for its height, which makes it a perfect place for diving fans, who perform incredible acrobatics there. This magical place is frequented by tourists from all over the world who come here to admire the beauty and enjoy alternating moments of relaxation and fun. 
Close to the Chalet is the Osteria Vittoria, where you can taste traditional Ticino dishes accompanied by local wines. Surrounding the small village are several agritourisms. Also in the picturesque village of Lavertezzo is the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which was originally built in the 16th century, but the remarkable bell tower visible from all directions was built in the 18th century and further modified in 1845. 7 km south of the village is the huge Verzasca dam. 
As far as parking is concerned, there is a public car park that allows easy parking and convenient access to all the attractions of the Verzasca Valley.
