Corno di Cavento

The Corno di Cavento reaches 3,402 meters in elevation and stands between Val Rendena and Val di Fumo in the Adamello-Presanella mountain range.

Julius von Payer led the first ascent on September 3, 1868, accompanied by mountaineers Coronna, Griesmayer, and Haller while also climbing Crozzon di Lares.

The mountain's name translates to 'home of wind' in reference to the local weather patterns that shape the geographical features of this granite peak.

Access routes begin from either Rifugio Carè Alto or Rifugio Ai Caduti dell'Adamello, requiring glacier equipment including ropes, ice axes, and crampons.

The summit contains preserved World War I tunnels that changed possession multiple times between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces during military campaigns.
