Corno di Cavento, Mountain summit in Trentino-South Tyrol, Italy.

Corno di Cavento is a mountain summit in the Adamello-Presanella range located between Val Rendena and Val di Fumo, reaching 3,402 meters in elevation. The peak is composed of granite and features steep slopes with glaciated sections typical of this high alpine environment.

Julius von Payer, with Coronna, Griesmayer and Haller, made the first ascent on 3 September 1868, the same day the party also climbed the Crozzon di Lares. In April and May 1916 Italian Alpini took the surrounding ridges and the Cavento pass, but the summit stayed Austrian until 15 June 1917, when ski troops and rock climbers attacked from the Lares glacier and the north crest. The Austrians retook it on 15 June 1918 through a tunnel dug in the glacier, and the Alpini recovered it on 19 July 1918.

The name Cavento comes from the pass of the same name below the summit, not from any wind legend. The mountain's wartime story is kept alive in the novel La penna del Corvo Bianco, which narrates the battles of 15 June 1917 and 15 June 1918. The diary of Austrian lieutenant Felix Hecht von Eleda, found after the 1917 assault, is held at the Museo della Guerra Bianca Adamellina in Spiazzo.

Mountain climbing experience and high-altitude equipment are necessary for this ascent, as the route crosses glaciated terrain. The best time to visit is between July and September when snow coverage is minimal and weather conditions are most favorable.

The north ridge was fully equipped with fixed ropes during World War I, but the gear has vanished or decayed badly and the route is now abandoned. The Austrian lieutenant Felix Hecht von Eleda, commander of the Folletto-Cavento positions, was killed there on 15 June 1917; his diary, found by Captain Fabrizio Battanta, is kept at the Museo della Guerra Bianca Adamellina in Spiazzo.
