Camoghè, Mountain summit in Lugano District, Switzerland

Camoghè is a mountain summit that rises to 2228 meters (7310 feet) and marks the boundary between the Bellinzona and Lugano districts in southern Ticino. The peak forms part of the Lugano Prealps and features the rocky terrain characteristic of this Alpine region.

The sources record no mining history on Camoghè; the reddish tint of its slopes comes from the abundance of iron in the rock itself. The summit, 2228 m in the Italian article and 2227.9 m in the German one, lies on the border between the Bellinzona and Lugano districts. The mountain belongs to the Lugano Prealps, in the Comer Prealps group under the SOIUSA classification.

The mountain's name appears as Camoghè in Italian and German sources, with the summit marking the border between the Bellinzona and Lugano districts. The north-west flank belongs to the distant municipalities of Cadenazzo and Monteceneri, while the east flank is Bellinzona's and the south side is shared by several communes.

The summit lies entirely on Ticino soil about 1.5 km from the Italian border, with the ridge running southeast to Monte Segor (2097 m) and Gazzirola (2116 m) and the west ridge reaching Cima Calescio (2035 m). Approach from these neighbouring peaks or from the valleys below; the northeast flank drops into the Valmaggina, a side valley of the Valle Morobbia, and the northwest flank into the Val di Caneggio.

The slopes here are home to Androsace Brevis, a flowering plant found nowhere else but in this part of the Lugano Prealps. This small flower reveals the special ecological conditions that exist on these particular mountainsides.
