Montalto, Mountain summit in Aspromonte National Park, Italy

Montalto is the highest peak in the Aspromonte mountain range, standing at 1,955 meters above sea level. The summit forms a natural dividing point between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian coastal areas of Calabria.

A trigonometric point of the national geodetic network was installed on the summit in 1869. For the 1901 Jubilee a bronze statue of the Redeemer by Francesco Jerace was placed there on land donated by Baron Stranges of San Luca; it was inaugurated on 23 September 1901 by Cardinal Portanova, struck twice by lightning and each time rebuilt. The present statue is by the Reggio sculptor Michele di Raco.

A bronze compass rose on a granite base was placed here by the Aspromonte Hikers Group in 1994.

Several hiking trails reach the summit, with the eastern route from Gambarie offering the most direct path. Weather conditions are best during months with stable skies, when views across the surrounding region are clearest.
