Monte Scorluzzo

Monte Scorluzzo rises to 3,094 meters in elevation within Stelvio National Park, featuring a prominent ridge that connects to the surrounding mountain peaks.

Austrian-Hungarian forces rapidly secured the summit at the start of World War I, establishing military positions that controlled access to the strategic Stelvio Pass.

The mountain preserves numerous military structures, trenches, and tunnels from World War I, forming an open-air museum of Alpine military architecture.

Hikers can reach the summit through a moderate 1.5-hour climb from Stelvio Pass, following marked trails that gain approximately 340 meters in elevation.

Recent glacial melting has revealed preserved World War I artifacts and structures that remained frozen for over a century beneath the mountain's surface.
