In winter the Ticino river has only few water (in other times of the year not much more), so the riverbed is a very impressive landscape of rounded stones. In the background the three level of the Gotthard line in the Biaschina, with Pianotondo viaduct on the uppermost level and a pair of SBB Cargo locomotives crossing the Ticino bridge on the lowest level. On the left the viaduct of the A2 highway.
