DESCRIPTION

We were four friends who took the train down to the Verzasca dam in Locarno situated in the southern parts of Switzerland.
The dam is 220 metres high and it takes 7 seconds to fall to the lowest point.
James Bond jumped here in the movie "Golden Eye" (or at least his his stunt double).
