Cima di Castello is a mountain peak situated at approximately 3,379 meters between the valleys of Albigna, Forno Glacier, and Val Mello along the Swiss-Italian border. The peak overlooks the surrounding terrain from its position in the Bregaglia Range.

This peak formed as part of the Bregaglia Range and marks the natural border between Switzerland and Italy. Its location has made it a key reference point in the Alpine region for centuries.

This peak links the Swiss Alps with Italian mountain terrain and serves as a passage for walkers exploring the border region. Local trails wind across the summit and connect different valleys on both sides.

Climbers typically approach the peak from the Rifugio Francesco Allievi shelter in the region. The ascent requires alpine climbing experience and proper equipment for snow and ice conditions.

The peak is known for its jagged rock formations and sheer rises that demand precise climbing technique. Many mountaineers appreciate how changing seasons alter the difficulty and character of the route.
