8zampeontheroad - Stephanie, Argo & Naìra (January 2021):
Some views are better than others and this is one of the top 3 views of Lugano.
At 1,516 meters, Monte Boglia offers an open panorama of the northern Ticino, Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, part of the Alpine chain and Lombardy. It is a moderately difficult hike, which takes about 2 hours. Most of the hike is surrounded by a beech forest.
As a very famous hike in Ticino during the day, I suggest planning this hike for a sunrise or sunset. In fact, the summit is a strategic point to enjoy a morning or evening walk. For sunrise, I recommend starting from Brè Paese no later than 06:00. For sunset, I recommend starting from Brè Paese no later than 15:00. But times can change with the season, the more winter comes the better to be prepared.
As you can see, we did this hike also in winter with crampons and snowshoes for a sunset, it was magical, but don't forget your headlamp and some hot tea!
IMPORTANT: Not suitable during the day in summer.
