The Scopí is a 3189.9 m above sea level. M. high mountain in the Adula Alps , immediately east of the Lukmanier Pass . The border between the canton of Ticino and the canton of Graubünden runs from the pass over the western ridge of the Scopí and further from the summit over the main ridge in a southerly direction. The Grisons part belongs to the municipality of Medel (Lucmagn) , the Ticino part to the municipality of Blenio . To the west lies the Val Medel with the Lai da Sontga Maria , to the east the Val Casatscha . On the north-south running ridge rises the Piz Miez to the north and the Pizzo del Corvo to the south .
There is a military radar station on the summit , which is accessed by a cable car that cannot be used by the public. During the construction of the facilities, the summit, originally nine meters higher, was leveled. The summit plateau is not a restricted area, but usually accessible to alpinists.
In 1782 the Benedictine priest Placidus a Spescha from the Lukmanier Pass , where he worked as a pastor, was the first to climb the mountain.
