Corna Piana, Mountain summit in Prealpi Bergamasche Centrali, Italy
Corna Piana is a mountain summit in the Prealpi Bergamasche Centrali that rises to roughly 2300 meters. The peak features steep flanks typical of alpine terrain, with grassy slopes providing routes to reach the top.
Corna Piana stands on the watershed between Val Brembana and Val Seriana, in the province of Bergamo. Its summit ridge carries two tops: the higher western one at 2,302 m and the eastern one at 2,226 m. South of it lies Pizzo Arera; north a thin ridge runs to Corno Branchino and on to Monte delle Galline, with Lago Branchino in the hollow between.
The western flank of Corna Piana is crossed by the Sentiero dei Fiori, a trail that from May to June passes many kinds of flowers. It runs from the baite of Mezzeno, at Capovalle di Roncobello in Val Brembana, to the Rifugio Capanna 2000.
Marked trails lead to the summit starting from the valley floor, with most routes taking several hours to climb. Visitors should bring weather-appropriate clothing and start early, as conditions in the mountains can change quickly.
The summit ridge carries two tops: the west one at 2,302 m and the east one at 2,226 m. Just north, a narrow crest runs down to Corno Branchino, and the hollow between them holds Lago Branchino, a small alpine lake fed by snowmelt and rain.
