Monte Gleno, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy
Monte Gleno is a mountain summit in the Bergama Alps that stands at approximately 2,900 meters and features a permanent snow cover year-round. The peak displays a notable glacier formation along its crest and northern facing slopes.
The mountain lies near the Gleno Dam, which failed in 1923 and caused a major disaster in the Scalve Valley below. This event remains one of the largest industrial accidents in the region's past.
The Gleno Exhibition Space in Vilminore preserves photographs and documents chronicling the industrial development of the valley during the 1920s.
The summit is accessible via a challenging hiking trail that requires mountain experience and proper equipment. A mountain hut nearby provides shelter and supplies for those attempting the ascent.
Monte Gleno ranks as the thirteenth highest peak among 608 mountains in the Bergamo region, maintaining permanent snow coverage throughout the year.
