Monte Gleno, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy
Monte Gleno rises to 2,882 meters in the Bergamo Alps, featuring a prominent glacier formation across its crest and northern slopes.
The mountain stands near the site of the 1923 Gleno Dam disaster, where six million cubic meters of water devastated the Scalve Valley.
The Gleno Exhibition Space in Vilminore preserves photographs and documents chronicling the industrial development of the valley during the 1920s.
Hikers can reach the summit through an alpine trail T4, with the Rifugio Nani Tagliaferri mountain shelter located 1,652 meters east.
Monte Gleno ranks as the thirteenth highest peak among 608 mountains in the Bergamo region, maintaining permanent snow coverage throughout the year.
