About
One of the most beautiful places in Italy is the Sighignola summit on the Swiss border.
Perched on the Swiss-Italian border in the Lugano Prealps and towering over Lake Lugano a majestic 4,311 feet (1,314 meters) above sea level, Sighignola is a sight to behold. Chapter and verse of its magnificence has been extolled by the Italian National Trust, which rates it as one of Italy’s most beautiful locations. All this fame is borne out of its Balcone d'Italia –» aptly named ‘Balcony of Italy’ – which offers bold vistas of both the lake and the city that bears it name, plus the sublime alpine surroundings.
