The San Lucio Pass, located in the Lugano Prealps at an altitude of 1,541 metres (5,056 ft) above sea level, connects the Val Cavargna in the Italian province of Como with the Val Colla in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The pass is shared by the municipalities of Cavargna (Italy) and Bogno (Switzerland).[1]
The pass is accessible by road from the Italian side, and by dirt track from the Swiss side. At the summit of the pass is a 14th-century church, and a pair of refuges. On the feast of Saint Roch (16 August), a party is traditionally held on the pass, attended by visitors from both sides of the border.
