ITINERARY

MONTE BRÈ SUMMIT > BRÈ > ALPE BOLLA > BRÈ > VILLA LUGANESE “BECOMES” MONTE BRÈ SUMMIT > BRÈ > CAPANNA ALPE BOLLA > VILLA LUGANESE

This route is the perfect solution if you want to discover all the special features and natural diversity of the region first-hand. Starting from the summit station of the Monte Brè funicular, descend towards Brè village along the Scalinata alla Torretta stairway, with a panoramic view over the village itself.

From the accessible leisure area near the village, head up the valley towards Alpe Bolla via a path that winds along a wooded stretch alongside a stream. The second half of this path does not include any challenging climbs, making it more leisurely and suitable for fully enjoying some views at high altitude: we would like to highlight in particular some panoramic views near Alpe Bolla overlooking Lugano and the Denti della Vecchia (for more information, you can ask the warden). Likewise near Alpe Bolla, you will find the homonymous hut, where you can enjoy both the restaurant service and overnight accommodation. After this pleasant stretch, continue along a steep path up to Pian Soldino. Finally, finish your hike along the last stretch towards Villa Luganese. This section continues more gently and crosses several streams, giving you some unique perspectives in an extremely rewarding environment.
