The highest neighborhood of the City of Lugano is Brè. This enchanting village is nestled in a natural amphitheater created by the Boglia mountains. It is the highest point of the municipality of Lugano, altitude 1516 meters, at Pignodra. The town’s special setting brings it a pleasant climate even in winter.

The subtropical vegetation demonstrates this mild climate. Stone-paved streets and rustic houses still pervade the village. Its natural surroundings are unspoiled and attract thousands of visitors each year.

Several panoramic locations offer visitors views of Mount Rosa (4554 meters), Cervino (4478 meters), the Dom (4554 meters), Switzerland’s highest mountain, the Dufour Point (4634 meters), as well as vast areas of Italy as far as the Maritime Alps (230 km away at the Italian-French border).

The town of Brè is located on the 46th parallel north, thus halfway between the equator and North Pole, with an ideal climate. And for that reason it is a highly desirable place to live.
