Tibetan Bridge Carasc
You can reach the Tibetan Bridge only on foot.
It’s possible to start the hike either from Monte Carasso or Sementina. Both ways take around 2h.
Alternatively, you can take the cable car from Monte Carasso to Curzutt (first stop). From Curzutt you can reach the Tibetan bridge by walk in 45/60 min (hiking shoes are hardly recommended!).

Parking and public transports
The access to the hill street of Monte Carasso and Sementina is restricted to the residents and is only issue by the local police.
Since the parking spots are limited in the area, we suggest to reach the Infopoint in Monte Carasso using public transports.
Currently, it is still possible to use the free parking located in “Er Carà di Sa” in Monte Carasso.
We highly recommend to use the public car parking located at “Via tatti” in Bellinzona and reach the cable car station using the public bus (Linea 2) direction Monte Carasso. The bus stops are “Urènn/Funivia” or “Cunvént”. If you chose this solution, in only a 5/10 minutes walk you will be at the cable car station “Monte Carasso – Mornera”. To reach the tibetan bridge from Sementina – direction San Defendente - the bus stop is “Via Locarno” in Sementina.
For those who arrive with the train at the FFS train station in Bellinzona, the bus lines to take are Linea 2 or Linea 311. The bus stops are “Urènn/Funivia” or “Cunvént”. Then in only a 5/10 minutes walk you are at the cable car station “Monte Carasso – Mornera.
