Vogorno

Vogorno is best known in Ticino for the 220-metre Contra Dam, whose reservoir, Lago di Vogorno, occupies the lower Verzasca Valley. Completed in 1965, the concrete arch dam rises above the Verzasca River and became internationally familiar through the opening stunt of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. The village lies above the reservoir beneath steep wooded slopes that define this Alpine corner of southern Switzerland. Footpaths and local roads link it with other small settlements in the Verzasca Valley, while Locarno and Lake Maggiore lie farther south. Continue with other webcams around the Verzasca Valley to see how this part of Ticino connects with Lake Maggiore and the Magadino Plain.
