Hiking in the only Swiss valley without electricity | Val Bavona | Swiss Hiking Diaries Ep. 5🇨🇭

In this video, I am hiking in Val Bavona, a wild and steep valley that has remained frozen time with no electricity.

Located in the Swiss southern region of Ticino, it has remained frozen in the 16th century. The valley is only inhabited in summertime and has opted to remain true to its rustic roots, even shunning electricity. I hiked between the villages of Foroglio and Gerra. I started with the spectacular Foroglio waterfall. The Calnegia river plummets from 110 m. Then we hiked up along the river to explore the valley before the drop. After continuing through the Foroglio village, we reached the village of Puntid. The name for a traditional Bavona Valley home is a rustico. Made of stacked stones (often without mortar), they were often built three stories high to conserve heat and save land. Some date from the 15th century, and have been passed down through generations. After crossing the village of Puntid and its stone bridge, the trail reaches Gerra, 'gèra' in fact means gravel in the local dialect. We can see farmsteads, composed of constructions under rock, "splüi" in the local dialect (from the Latin "spelunca", cave, cavern). These spaces were used as living quarters, cowsheds, cellars, storage rooms, woodsheds, and so on.

I love the outdoors and Switzerland is the perfect place to enjoy hiking and mountaineering all year round. I share my hiking hobby with my husband. We love to discover new trails together. We hike and travel all year round also outside Switzerland. Being in nature is relaxing and recharges us after a busy work week. I can’t wait to share our travels with you. You won’t see me a lot in my vlogs because I want to make nature the main character in the stories I want to share with you. I hope they will offer you a relaxing break from your busy day and inspire you to go on your own adventures.
