Monte Bregagno

Monte Bregagno reaches an elevation of 2,107 meters and stands as the eighth highest peak among 431 mountains in the Lugano Prealps range.

The mountain position served as a strategic observation point through centuries, allowing surveillance of movements across the surrounding Alpine territories during conflicts.

Local mountaineering groups maintain several marked paths to the summit, reflecting the strong connection between regional communities and Alpine exploration traditions.

The ascent requires proper hiking equipment and careful weather monitoring, with July offering the most favorable conditions for reaching the summit safely.
