The apartment house where we’re staying is in the small village of Aldesago, which is located more than halfway up Monte Brè (I believe it’s one of the yellowish buildings circled in the above photo).
I wanted to provide a better idea of how high up we are, so I took a video of the view we see each time we drive to town.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t such a great video — seeing as how I was in a moving car, on a bumpy road, with the view intermittently blocked by trees and houses — so I extracted a couple of “snapshots” from it to give you the idea.
The mountain you see across the lake is Monte San Salvatore, a famous Lugano landmark.
I just remembered your blog!! So great to hear about the trip!!
Love.
