About this picture
w

Corippo is a municipality in the Verzasca Valley . It belongs to the county Verzasca , District Locarno of Canton Ticino in Switzerland . Corippo is the smallest political municipality in Switzerland by number of inhabitants. The village center was placed under a preservation order in 1975 and recognized as exemplary.

geography

The cluster village is at 552 m above sea level. M. in the valley cut on the right bank of the Verzasca river , at the northern end of the Lago di Vogorno reservoir , 7 km northwest of the Gordola station on the Bellinzona - Locarno line of the Gotthard Railway .

history

The village was first mentioned as Culipo in 1224 , then Corippo became an independent municipality in 1822. Since the most important source of income for the inhabitants, livestock farming, was limited by the scarcity of agricultural resources, the number of permanent residents has steadily decreased since the middle of the 19th century.

The village has been accessible by a road since 1883. Before that, the cattle were driven over mule tracks to winter in the Magadino plain .

After 40 years of unsuccessful efforts to make the village more attractive as a primary residence, the Corippo 1975 Foundation, committed to preserving the village, planned to convert the village into an "Albergo diffuso", a "scattered hotel", from 2017. Before that, the idea of ​​a REKA village had failed due to the large adjustments required. The project received the Hotel Innovation Award 2017 from Gastrosuisse. The first room was ready in July 2018 and operations were due to start in the spring of 2019 after the restoration of further rustici during the autumn. After the start of operations, the old village oven and the mill on the village stream below the settlement will also be restored. In 2018, the village was not connected to a wastewater treatment plant either, but used a septic tank , which could probably reach its load limit when fully operational with 10 rooms and 25 beds.

The communities in the valley decided in 2018 to merge. The decision will be implemented in 2020. A previous vote had failed in the Riazzino district, which is a remnant of hiking pasture farming in the Magadino plain, but politically belongs to Lavertezzo.
