Il Madone

Il Madone rises to 2,756 meters above sea level in the Lepontine Alps, featuring steep slopes and natural rock formations throughout its terrain.

The mountain stands as part of the ancient Lepontine Alps formation, which emerged through geological processes millions of years ago during Alpine orogeny.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional climbing routes to the summit, passing knowledge of safe passages through generations of Swiss alpinists.

Climbers need proper equipment and physical preparation to reach the summit, with access routes beginning from several marked trails in the Ticino region.

The southern face of Il Madone overlooks Lago del Narèt, creating a natural amphitheater where snow remains well into the summer months.
