Gazzirola, Mountain summit in Ticino, Switzerland and Italy.
The 2116-meter Gazzirola peak stands along the Swiss-Italian border within the Lugano Prealps, offering views across both national territories.
The mountain's location between Switzerland and Italy established it as a natural border marker, influencing regional mapping and territorial divisions through centuries.
The mountain connects the Italian-speaking regions of Ticino and Lombardy, reflecting the shared Alpine traditions of both Swiss and Italian communities.
Three mountain refuges provide shelter near Gazzirola: Capanna San Lucio, Rifugio San Lucio, and Rifugio Garzirola, supporting hikers throughout their journey.
From the summit, hikers gain access to multiple trail networks spanning two countries, with elevation gains reaching 1006 meters from the base.
