Monte Tamaro

Monte Tamaro is a mountain located in the Swiss canton of Ticino, situated in the triangle between Lugano, Bellinzona, and Locarno. Monte Tamaro offers breathtaking views of the surrounding region, reaching a height of 1,962 meters (6,437 feet) above sea level.

Monte Tamaro has been developed as a mountain resort with adventure activities but for us a particular attraction was the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The church is an extraordinary piece of contemporary architecture by the renowned architect Mario Botta, on a spur of the mountain and offering panoramic views around.
