In this tiny Swiss hamlet you really go back in time. A place of great charm and well worth discovering

There are places that really know how to amaze and how to give a unique experience that really brings back back in time. Lughi that have kept their ancient characteristics intact and that, even today, live in a way that recalls their image and lifestyle themselves. Just as happens in a small Swiss hamlet that really seems to have stopped and in which, among other things, there is no electricity.

A place surrounded by nature and with which you live in symbiosis, located among the beauty of the Bavona Valley, the most treacherous and wildest in Ticino, and in which this small Swiss hamlet proceeds its existence slowly, undisturbed and lacking certain comforts that for many people seem to be indispensable but in fact are not.

A Swiss hamlet that stands near a waterfall which takes its name, and which contributes to making this place a location full of charm and beauty, in which to truly unplug (and here it is not just a metaphor) and in which to take an unexpected but uniquely emotional trip back in time.

A waterfall that, in fact, makes this out-of-time Swiss village “famous” and truly worth discovering and visiting. A beauty to be admired as soon as possible by organizing a trip to Switzerland full of charm and that touch of suggestion typical of places that recall past atmospheres and bring us there thanks to their unique features.

A Swiss village with graceful stone cottages and which over time have retained their ancient charm. One of the twelve villages that are called “lands” by locals that characterize the valley floor. Giving unique emotions to those who visit them and a wealth of dreamy images to take with them forever.

A Swiss suburb in which, as mentioned, there is no electricity, but which use only that of the sun. Reason why this Swiss hamlet is mostly inhabited in summer. All aspects that have allowed this place to keep its characteristics intact and to enjoy a quietness that is, to say the least, unique and highly restorative.

Let’s talk about the beautiful Swiss village of Feroglio, a true pearl of Ticino and of the whole country, a beauty with timeless charm and really worth visiting, indulging in a trip to this destination stopped in time and far from the hectic life of modern cities. It is a place that enchants anyone who visits it and transports one back in time, among small stone houses, cobbled lanes, a way of life that harkens back to bygone times and all the charm of the surrounding nature of which the Swiss village of Feroglio is an integral part.
