Catena Monte Leone-Blinnenhorn, Alpine mountain range in Distretto di Leventina, Switzerland.
The Catena Monte Leone-Blinnenhorn extends between Simplon Pass and Novena Pass, featuring multiple peaks reaching elevations above 3000 meters in the Lepontine Alps.
The Monte Leone, the highest peak of the range at 3553 meters, received its first documented ascent in July 1859 by a Swiss military officer.
The mountain chain forms deep connections with local communities who maintained meadows and pastures throughout the surrounding valleys for generations.
Several hiking trails connect the surrounding valleys, providing access points to the mountain range through established routes maintained by the Swiss Alpine Club.
The mountain range contains five distinct groups and fourteen subgroups, each displaying specific geological formations and characteristics within the Western Alps.
