Schwarzhorn, Mountain summit in Val di Fiemme, Italy
Schwarzhorn, also called Corno Nero, is a peak that rises to 2439 meters with two distinct summits linked by a rocky ridge. The twin peaks form the distinctive shape that defines this mountain in the Val di Fiemme landscape.
Shepherds used the paths leading to this peak as traditional routes since early settlement times in the Val di Fiemme valley. These ancient trails shaped the human presence in the mountain landscape.
The mountain sits where Italian and German-speaking cultures meet, as shown by its two names: Schwarzhorn in German and Corno Nero in Italian. This dual naming reflects how the landscape connects different communities.
The standard route follows path 14 from Passo Oclini, a trail of roughly 6,7 kilometers with around 559 meters of elevation gain. Proper hiking boots and mountain experience are essential for this exposed alpine path.
From the summit, visitors can see both the Lagorai mountain chain and the Dolomites at the same time, with grazing goats often visible on Ronchese Meadows. This view of two major mountain ranges from one location offers a rare perspective.
