About the trail
Explore the complete official loop from Lavertezzo through Sambugaro to the former seasonal settlements of Revöira and Ca d Dént. The route passes historic water-storage basins and cisterns before descending towards Motta, crossing the Verzasca and returning through woodland beside the river and past Ponte dei Salti. This is the full heritage route, not a bridge-only visit. Official reference: 8 km, +500/−500 m, 2.83 hours. Complete federal track: 7.97 km, accumulated +500/−500 m. Official classification: easy hiking trail; medium fitness. The route includes hillside paths, stone steps and river-side sections. Wet stone can be slippery; keep away from unsafe river edges and strong currents. The official description mentions swimming, but this entry does not establish safe swimming conditions or water access. Remain on marked paths and do not enter unstable historic structures. No fixed opening season is independently established. Summer hiking entry: snow-free conditions are required. No independently established fixed opening months or SAC T-grade are asserted. Federal closure/diversion layer checked on 24 October 2026: no reported closure or diversion intersects this exact route; absence of a notice is not an assurance that the route is open. Recheck official notices, local conditions and weather before departure. Official original name: Sentiero etnografico Revöira. Source: https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-629.
