Ponte sospeso del Lago di Tenno

The suspension bridge at Lake Tenno spans the bed of the Rio Secco near the lake. Inaugurated in 2023, its narrow deck combines modern engineering with attention to a sensitive natural setting.

Why it matters

The bridge is set back approximately one hundred metres from the shore. This placement separates the pedestrian crossing from an ecologically valuable part of the basin, where stream deposits and dense vegetation form a distinctive habitat.

What to notice

Steel cables support a deck about one hundred and twenty metres long and one metre wide. The elevated structure gives a perspective over the gravel carried by the Rio Secco and the surrounding vegetation. The contrast between the slender crossing and the broad streambed is central to its setting.

Context and history

The bridge was created as a recent addition to the landscape around Lake Tenno, completing a connection across the streambed. Its design reflects the attempt to reconcile recreation around the lake with protection of a relatively undisturbed corner of the basin.
