Monte Brè, Mountain summit in Ticino, Switzerland.

Monte Brè is a mountain summit in Ticino rising 925 meters above sea level with views extending to Lake Lugano, the Swiss Alps, and surrounding mountain ranges. The peak supports a small inhabited village with a church and dining establishments.

The Monte Brè funicular opened in 1912, running from Lugano-Cassarate via Suvigliana to the summit; its second section covers 1,403 m with a maximum gradient of 47.5%. That same year the first hotel-restaurant was built and the earlier Marian chapel, about 100 m below the top, was demolished for it; the present chapel is a 1913 rebuild with a Madonna statue. The village of Brè, at 800 m, keeps its Ticinese core and the Wilhelm Schmid Museum in the painter's former home.

In the old village centre of Brè, a Path of Art displays works by recognised artists among the stone houses. The village also keeps its Lavatoio, the former communal washing fountain, and the house of painter Wilhelm Schmid (1892–1971) holds a collection of his works in the Magical Realism style.

The Monte Brè funicular has run since 1912 from Lugano-Cassarate via the Suvigliana intermediate station to the summit. Section 1 is 196 m long with a maximum gradient of 60%; section 2 covers 1403 m at up to 47.5%. A bus also links Brè village with central Lugano.

The summit chapel is a 1913 reconstruction with a Madonna statue; its predecessor stood on a plateau about 100 metres below the top and was demolished when the first hotel-restaurant was built in 1913. The mountain is counted among the sunniest points in Switzerland.
