VAL MAGGIA—VAL VERZASCA—VAL CANOBBINA.
Approaches and Carriage-roads.
From central Switzerland by the St. Gothard road or Gries (mule-pass); from the west by the Simplon road and Val Formazza; from the south by Lago Maggiore.
There is an omnibus twice daily up Val Maggia between Locarno and Bignasco, and once daily between Bignasco and Fusio, to which the carriage-road now extends. The carriage-road in Val Verzasca extends to Sonogno, but there is no public conveyance beyond Lavertezzo.
The carriage-road up Val Onsernone is open as far as Comologno.
The road from Locarno to Domo d'Ossola is not, as stated in the 'Alpine Guide,' practicable throughout for cars. There is a break of some length near the frontier.
The road from Canobbio through Val Canobbina to Val Vigezzo was still incomplete in 1874.
