Camoghè, Mountain summit in Lugano District, Switzerland
Monte Camoghè rises to 2228 meters above sea level, marking the boundary between the Bellinzona and Lugano districts in the Swiss canton of Ticino.
The mountain's iron-rich rocks have influenced local mining activities throughout centuries, leaving traces visible in the reddish coloration of surrounding landscapes.
Near the summit stands a chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Flüe, reflecting the religious traditions and mountaineering heritage of Swiss Alpine communities.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from different starting points, with the most direct route beginning at Gazzirola and taking approximately four hours.
The mountain slopes support the growth of Androsace Brevis, an endemic flower species found exclusively in this section of the Lugano Prealps.
