Corippo has a beautiful village image. It has been included in the list of sites worthy of protection in Switzerland. Particularly worth seeing are the market square, the church Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine and the stone bridge. The village is located on the northern part of the Lago di Vogorno reservoir.
