Fortunately, in our beautiful country there are many immersed in nature. Let&#8217;s see the 5 most beautiful Tibetan bridges in Italy from north to south.<\/p>\n<h3>Bridge in the Sky, Lombardia<\/h3>\n<p>Suspended at a height of 140 meters and 234 meters long, the <strong>Bridge in the Sky is the highest Tibetan bridge in Europe<\/strong>. Located in Lombardia, it connects the two sides of Val Tartano at Campo Tartano, a small village in Valtellina, reaching the village of Frasnino. The bridge is made of 700 planks of larch wood from Val Tartano and is accessible to everyone, even children. It offers visitors and hikers a unique panoramic view: from the Colombera dam to the valley floor that ends in Lake Como, from the Tartano valley to the Rhaetian Alps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ponte-nel-Cielo-AerialVision_it-shutterstock_1485065087.jpg\" alt=\"Ponte nel Cielo\" width=\"1200\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo AerialVision_it\/shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bridge to the Moon, Basilicata<\/h3>\n<p>On the banks of the Fosso Arenazzo, at the foot of the suggestive historical center of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/village\/sasso-di-castalda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sasso di Castalda<\/a><\/strong>, rises the <strong>Ponte alla Luna<\/strong> (Moon Bridge).<br \/>\nIt is 300 meters long and it is suspended at a height of 120 meters.

From here the path winds through the passerelle and access is completely free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ponte-tibetano-di-Roccamandolfi-Alfonso-Maria-Salsano-shutterstock_1756863215.jpg\" alt=\"Ponte tibetano di Roccamandolfi\" width=\"1200\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo Alfonso Maria Salsano\/shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Tibetan bridge on the Ferrata Dibona, Veneto<\/h3>\n<p>If you are looking for an impervious path, the most difficult Tibetan bridge to reach is in Veneto. Suspended between the Dolomites, to reach it is really complex, between metal ladders and a wooden walkway and a former wartime tunnel, then climb directly on the rocks until you approach it and begin to walk along it. Obviously you have to be quite prepared, but from up there the view will be unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ponte-tibetano-sulla-Ferrata-Dibona-StentorIII-shutterstock_1317079394.jpg\" alt=\"Ponte tibetano sulla Ferrata Dibona\" width=\"1200\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo StentorIII\/shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Main image: Bridge in the Sky, photo AerialVision_it\/shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A list of 5 Tibetan bridges, among the most beautiful in Italy, immersed in nature<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":138642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-post-blog-pro.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1547],"tags":[],"village-conntection":[51078],"class_list":["post-231521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-curiosities","village-conntection-sasso-di-castalda-it"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231521"},{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=231521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
