In the Bavona Valley, where a large amount of energy is produced (three power plants; three reservoir lakes), there is no electric current, with the exception of San Carlo. Therefore, solar cells, gas, small water turbines, candles, petroleum, etc., have to be used instead.

A spectacular sight is the Foroglio Waterfall rushing down a 80 meter high rock into the Val Calnegia, which can be reached from Foroglio.

How to get there:
Starting from Locarno drive in the direction of Vallemaggia. Once you are in the Vallemaggia Valley, you can continue via Avegno- Maggia - Cevio - Bignasco to San Carlo/Val Bavona.
