Monte Cevedale, Alpine summit in Stelvio National Park, Italy
Monte Cevedale is an Alpine peak in Stelvio National Park with three distinct summits, the southern being the highest at 3,769 meters. Its steep faces and extensive glaciers shape the mountain's dramatic profile.
The mountain was first reached in 1865 and served as part of the Italian-Austrian front during World War I. Military remains still dot the slopes in certain areas.
The initial conquest of Monte Cevedale occurred in 1865 when Julius von Payer, J. Pinggera, and J. Reinstadler reached its summit through a challenging expedition.
The climb is demanding and requires glacier experience, crampons, and ice axes for safety. Marked trails connect mountain refuges and provide guidance through the higher terrain.
The summit is where the borders of three Italian provinces meet: Sondrio, South Tyrol, and Trentino. This makes it a notable point of regional significance.
