Blenio has served as a municipality in Ticino since 2006, when several communities of the upper Blenio Valley joined together. The Brenno River runs through this Alpine valley, whose settlements lie beneath the routes leading towards the Lukmanier Pass and the canton of Graubünden. Olivone is the municipality’s principal settlement, while older hamlets preserve the compact form and stone-built character typical of mountain communities in this part of Ticino. The valley is also part of the Italian-speaking cultural area of southern Switzerland. Continue with other webcams from Ticino to see how this Alpine region connects with neighbouring valleys.
