Monte Brè, Mountain summit in Ticino, Switzerland.
The Monte Brè summit rises 925 meters above sea level, offering views of Lake Lugano, the Swiss Alps, and Monte Rosa mountain range.
Originally a farming settlement, the village of Brè transformed into a destination for artists during the 20th century, marking a shift in local demographics.
The village features twenty outdoor artworks by contemporary creators, including frescoes by Josef Birò and paintings by Luigi Taddei in the parish church.
The funicular railway from Lugano-Cassarate reaches the summit in twenty minutes, passing through residential areas of Suvigliana, Albonago, and Aldesago.
At the summit, visitors find a small church and two restaurants, Osteria della Funicolare and Ristorante Vetta, with terraces facing the mountains.
