The Cogn (in the local idiom cogn or cugn , a modification of the Italian cueno for wedge ) is a mountain between the Valle di Blenio and the Valle Leventina in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland at an altitude of 2166  m above sea level. M. The summit looks like a wedge that protrudes northeast over the woods of the Valle di Blenio and forms two amphitheaters .

Location and surroundings

The cogn belongs to the Gotthard massif . It is located on the ridge between Pizzo Erra and the Matro . The municipal boundary between Acquarossa , Serravalle and Faido meet at the summit . The Cogn is bordered in the northeast by the Valle di Blenio and in the southwest by the Valle Leventina .

The neighboring peaks include the Pizzo Erra , the Pizzo Pianché , the Croce di Sasso and the Pianca Bella in the north-west and the Matro in the south-east.

Line crossing

The ridge between Pizzo Pianché and Matro , taken from the junction next to Pizzo Pianché.

The ridge hike from the Passo dei Laghetti ( 2129  m ) to the Matro ( 2172  m ) is a scenic and varied day hike. It offers a great panoramic view of the Valle di Blenio , the Valle Leventina and the surrounding mountains. With a detour to Pizzo Pianché, five peaks are reached. These are from northwest to southeast the Pizzo Pianché ( 2228  m ), the Croce di Sasso ( 2132  m ), the Pianca Bella ( 2165  m ), the Cogn ( 2166  m ) and the Matro ( 2172  m ). The route is partly marked with small, yellow dots. Often there is also a path that partly leads past the bumps next to the edge of the ridge.

The ridge crossing from Passo dei Laghetti to Matro takes about 1½ hours and is indicated with difficulty EB .
