The bridge was inaugurated in 2015 to improve connectivity between isolated mountain settlements.
It is part of a larger project designed to revitalize the historic, stone-built village of Curzútt.
The deck of the bridge is constructed primarily of larch wood planks.
The structure reaches a maximum height of 130 meters above the valley bottom.
It connects the slope of the Mornera mountain to the Curzútt plateau.
The Ponte Tibetano Carasc is a 270-meter-long suspension bridge located in the Ticino region of Switzerland. It spans the Curzútt valley at a height of 130 meters above the forest floor. The structure connects the settlements of Monte Carasso and Curzútt, providing a passage across the rugged landscape. Constructed from metal and timber, the bridge is designed for pedestrian use only. It serves as a connector for the extensive network of hiking trails in the Bellinzona area. The bridge is permanently installed and remains open for transit throughout the year, weather permitting.
