Monte Cabianca, Mountain peak in the Bergamo Alps, Lombardy, Italy
Monte Cabianca is a mountain peak in the Orobie Alps reaching 2601 meters elevation with steep, rocky slopes. The summit overlooks the Aviasco Lake and surrounding alpine terrain that extends across the range.
Monte Cabianca lies on the watershed between the Brembana and Seriana valleys, on the border of Carona and Valgoglio in the province of Bergamo. Routes reach it from Carona via the Calvi refuge (1,990 m), the Curiosi lake and the Naso di Cabianca (2,475 m), and from Valgoglio via the CAI 268 path past the Sucotto and Aviasco reservoirs. A third route climbs from the Aviasco pass over Monte dei Frati (2,502 m) and Monte Valrossa (2,550 m).
The mountain sits on the watershed dividing Val Brembana from Val Seriana, on the border between the municipalities of Carona and Valgoglio in the province of Bergamo. Its name appears in the routes described by local hikers, who approach it from both valleys and from Passo di Aviasco.
The hike from the valley involves several hours of steep climbing over marked trails. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions, from forest paths to loose rock at higher elevations.
The normal route from Valgoglio passes the Enel houses by the Sucotto dam, the Capanna Lago Nero and Lago di Aviasco; from the Aviasco dam a marked track climbs to the top in about an hour. Another approach follows the crest from Monte Valrossa (2,550 m) via Monte dei Frati (2,502 m).
