Monte Alben, Limestone mountain in Bergamasque Prealps, Italy

Monte Alben rises to 2019 meters with steep cliffs on its northeast face and pine forests covering the southwestern slopes of the massif.

The mountain path network developed through decades includes the Maurizio via ferrata, which leads climbers through vertical rock faces to reach La Croce summit.

The mountain hosts over one hundred established climbing routes of varying difficulty grades, from intermediate level 5 to advanced 9a+ classifications.

Three primary access points serve the mountain: Serina, Cornalba, and Oltre il Colle, with the latter providing the most direct route to the summit.

Monte Alben nurtures the Primula albenensis, a flower species found exclusively on this mountain, which displays its blooms between April and June.
