Cima Plem, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy
Cima Plem is a 3,182 m summit of the Adamello group, reached by climbing Val Malga from Malonno or Sonico. Two routes lead to the top: the harder one starts at Rifugio Tonolini (2,450 m), the easier one passes Rifugio Gnutti (2,160 m). The path is marked except near Passo Cristallo (2,885 m), and the final crest section is for experienced alpinists.
The sources document no founding date or first-ascent record for Cima Plem; the mountain's climbing history is tied to the two approach routes from Val Malga. Climbers park at Ponte del Guat and ascend via Rifugio Tonolini (2,450 m) or Rifugio Gnutti (2,160 m), with the Tonolini way described as the harder of the two. The final crest section is reserved for experienced alpinists.
The two mountain huts on the routes, Rifugio Tonolini at 2,450 m and Rifugio Gnutti at 2,160 m, are the social anchors of the climb: walkers start from Ponte del Guat in upper Val Malga, reachable from Malonno or Sonico, and use the huts as stopping points. The normal route via Gnutti is the easier of the two.
Climbers should bring appropriate mountain gear and check weather conditions before heading out to attempt any route. The trails require good physical fitness and experience in alpine environments.
A staffed mountain shelter sits nearby and provides lodging and supplies for climbers attempting the peak. This refuge serves as a vital base camp for extended climbing expeditions in the range.
