This is a very short and easy hike, with very small altitude changes, so it can be done regardless of age, time of year, shoes etc. At the same time it's a very rewarding hike, letting you get a real taste of the Verzasca Valley, with the amazing town of Corippo, the river with its awesome boulders and the famous bridge Ponte dei Salti in Lavertezzo. Except for the part directly next to Corippo, the trail closely follows the river, so you have a great view at all times and you can access the river at many points.
