This fascinating 130m high suspended tibetan bridge in Ticino is 270 m long and aprox. 1 mt wide. It not be appropriate for those suffering from fear of heights nor should you visit on days with very strong wind.
The fascinating 130m high suspended tibetan bridge of Carasc.
We highly recommend you visit the little village of Curzùtt on the way there, with its beautiful little Romanesque church, San Bernando. If the church should be closed, you may find the key at the Curzùtt hostel which is also an excellent restaurant.
The Tibetan bridge at Carasc is free and open all year round. We think it is best done in spring and autumn. It’s best to avoid visiting the bridge during the very hot summer months because of heat and the influx of tourists in July and Augus. We went there in mid-September and it was very pleasant to see autumn colours and to enjoy the bridge with only a few others.
The Monte Carasso cable car – Mornera is tiny and can transport no more than 8 people at a time. To avoid long queues in high season, we suggest you book your ticket online with fixed ascent time.
On the way down, you will need to call the cable car by pressing a button inside a locker located on the top of the stairs at the Curzùtt cable car station.
The Tibetan bridge is protected by a wire mesh protection on both sides, so it is completely safe, even with children.

HOW TO GET TO THE CARASC TIBETAN BRIDGE
The Carasc bridge, is in the Fra locality, in the hills of Monte Carasso and Sementina, Tessin only a few kilometers from Bellinizona and the Lake Maggiore.
For those of you arriving by car, you should know that parking space is limited at the foot of the cable car. We advise you to park at the Monte Carasso town hall (300m from the cable car). There are excellent public transport connections by bus from Bellinzona and Locarno train stations in the Monte Carasso direction.
Once you arrive in the town of Monte Carasson, you can choose an easier route or a more difficult one. The first option entails taking the Monte Carasso- Mornera cable car and getting off at the first stop and then continuing on the old mule path for about 45 mins until you get to the Tibetan bridge. The second choice would be to walk up from the cable car station to the Tibetan bridge. Aprox. 1hr 30min.
We opted for the shorter solution and we have to admit that the trip in the tiny cable car itself, was well worth the trip. For the more athletic, who would like to go back down using the trail, it is possible when you cross the bridge, take the path in the Sementina direction and go back to point of departure (4 hrs aprox).

PROSCIUTTO SAN DANIELE THE HAM FROM THE ITALIAN ALPS
San Daniele cured ham is a culinary product of excellence. It comes from Friuli at the gateway to the Alps, more specifically from a town called San Daniele, from where the ham gets its name.
What renders San Daniele ham so unique, is the air that dries it. A wonderful mixture of winds from the Alps and Adriatic sea.
This dry air, plus salt from the sea, a tried and tested technique, a lifelong tradition of authenticity, choice Italian pork, make the whole procedure, which takes place within the city limits, totally unique.

San Daniele Friuli is situated between the flatlands of northern Italy and the Friulian Alps, making the distinctive geographical location unique, for the manufacturing of such ham.
Thanks to the constant flow of air from the north of Friuli and the southern sea breeze from the Adriatic Sea, which encounter at the great Tagliamento river, the ham seasoning occurs in the most traditional way.
The most characteristic ham factories still have their well ventilated north/ south facing cold rooms, to facilitate the natural airing and consequent maturation of the legendary San Daniele ham.

Alessio Prolongo regulates the natural airing at his own ham factory in San Daniele.
San Daniele’s cured ham manufacturing procedure takes at least 15 months to become a real work of art. The aging period is only the final part of this long process but it is, what characterizes this exclusive ham.
San Daniele ham is a quality product without any preservatives or additives. It contains only highly digestible essential fats, smooth to the pallet and soft to the touch, a delicate taste and recommended for low- calorie diets.
San Daniele cured ham has been recognized worldwide and protected under the tutelage of the Consortium for Prosciutto of San Daniele, for over 40 years, becoming a PDO product in 1996.

MOUNT RIGI LUCERNE LAKE PANORAMIC POINT
Mount Rigi is known in the Lucerne area as the “Queen of the Mountains” because of its breathtaking view on the Swiss Alps and Lake Lucerne, and the many hikes and outdoor activities it offers.
The two funiculars connecting Mount Rigi to the Vitznau villages (the first European funicular built in 1871) and Goldau, together with the view offered by the Weggis cable car, can guarantee you and your family unforgettable mountain experiences.
"Mount Rigi is an amazing and unique experience for everyone. Besides the incredible view, the funicular ride was my favorite experience. The train gently climbs through the pastures, the pine forests, and huts. It seems to be in early 1900.
The Rigi Kalt thermal baths and the opportunity to relax is a big temptation, especially in the winter, perhaps after a ski day on the Mount Rigi’ slopes"
Fabio
Mount Rigi is a great place for every season and a perfect spot for families and children. Once you reach the top through the cable cars, the many tours in the green landscapes let you enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps.
Pine forests, farmhouses and the panoramic thermal structure of the Rigi Kalt Therme make the area unique. A green wellness oasis at high altitude.
