Cornone di Blumone, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy
Cornone di Blumone is an Alpine summit standing at 2843 meters with three distinct climbing faces on its north, east, and west sides. Each face presents different technical demands for those attempting to reach the top.
Italian Alpine troops completed the first recorded ascent in 1878, marking the start of mountaineering activities in this section of the Adamello range. The mountain gradually became a destination for climbers exploring the region.
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 south-west face holds around 30 established climbing routes, including demanding paths like the Via dei Pilastri Rossi along its vertical rock surfaces. This variety makes the wall appealing to climbers of different skill levels.
