Basòdino, Alpine summit in Ticino, Switzerland

Monte Basòdino rises to 3,272 meters in elevation, standing as the highest mountain peak within the canton of Ticino in the Lepontine Alps range.

The mountain's glacial mass has decreased by 1,400 meters since 1850, leading to its separation into two distinct sections in 2008: Basòdino and Cavergno glaciers.

Local mountaineering groups maintain multiple marked paths to reach Monte Basòdino's summit, connecting Swiss hiking networks with Italian Alpine routes.

The San Carlo-Robiei cable car provides direct access to the mountain base during summer months, making it accessible for hiking and glacier observation.

The Basòdino glacier, covering 2 square kilometers, remains the largest in Ticino, featuring a temperature that stays constant at 0 degrees Celsius.
