Presanella

Cima Presanella is a mountain summit reaching 3,558 meters in the southern Eastern Alps, forming the highest point of the Adamello-Presanella group. The massif spreads across multiple valleys and offers several routes for climbers of varying skill levels.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1864 when Douglas William Freshfield and his companions reached the summit. This climb marked an important moment in the exploration of the Eastern Alps during the era of classical mountaineering.

The mountain sits within a protected natural area that draws people seeking to experience alpine landscapes and geological formations. It serves as a destination for hikers and mountaineers wanting to connect with the raw character of the Alps.

The best climbing season runs from June through September when conditions are most stable. Established trails approach the summit from several valleys, with difficulty varying depending on which route you choose.

The northern face features a steep ice wall that draws climbers seeking more technical routes of moderate to difficult grades. This frozen face offers a challenge for experienced mountaineers looking for demanding ascents beyond the standard paths.
