Cornone di Blumone, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy

Cornone di Blumone is a 2,843 m peak in the Adamello group of the southern Rhaetian Alps, the southernmost summit of the massif, rising above the woods of the upper Caffaro valley. It marks the southern edge of the Adamello granite pluton, with contact metamorphic rocks on the slopes below. The normal route climbs from Rifugio Tita Secchi (2,362 m) on Lago della Vacca via Passo di Blumone (2,633 m) over scree and rock steps.

The mountain lay on the Italian-Austrian front between 1915 and 1918. Near Passo di Blumone remain the trenches, walkways and ruins of a barracks later converted into a refuge, all part of the Italian position. Military relics are displayed in the surrounding huts.

Remnants of World War I such as trenches and military shelters shape the mountain landscape and tell the story of this Alpine region's wartime past. Visitors can still see these traces while exploring the slopes.

Access begins from Crocedomini Pass where two main trekking routes lead to Rifugio Tita Secchi, which serves as a base camp for climbers and hikers. Starting early and checking weather conditions are essential for a safe visit.

The mountain marks the southern edge of the Adamello pluton, where granite meets the metamorphic contact rocks around Lago della Vacca. Near Passo di Blumone, trenches, walkways and the ruins of a barracks later turned into a refuge remain from the Italian World War I position.
