Monte Cornetto

Monte Cornetto is a mountain summit in the Southern Calcareous Alps standing at 1899 meters with steep limestone cliffs and rocky terrain on its northern face. The slopes transition from bare rock at higher elevations to meadows and coniferous forests lower down.

Local alpinists first mapped routes to the summit in the early 1900s, establishing the paths that visitors still follow today. Their work created a foundation for the hiking network that connects the valleys of the region.

Local mountaineering groups maintain several climbing routes on Monte Cornetto, contributing to the development of regional alpine sports.

The hike typically starts from Passo Sommo near Folgaria, following marked trail 425 through open areas and forest sections to the mountain shelter. Multiple approach routes exist in the area, allowing visitors to choose based on their experience and available time.

A summit cross marks the peak and serves as a meeting point where several hiking routes converge, allowing visitors to descend into different valleys. This junction point makes the summit a strategic hub for exploring the broader alpine region.
