Monte Corno, Mountain peak in Graian Alps, Italy

Monte Corno is a mountain peak in the Graian Alps that rises to 1225 meters (4,020 feet). Several marked trails cross the rocky terrain, offering different routes for visitors to explore the landscape.

On 15 April 1936, an aircraft crashed at just over 900 metres on the slope facing the Stura di Lanzo, killing seven people, among them Carlo Alberto Pensa di San Damiano, then deputy podestà of Turin. A tall granite cross was later raised on the spot and is still visible from the surrounding villages. In the first half of the 20th century the eastern and southern slopes were reforested with conifers, later badly damaged by repeated fires.

The mountain lies between the Ceronda valley and the Stura di Lanzo valley, and its summit marks the meeting point of the municipal boundaries of Vallo Torinese, Fiano, Cafasse and Germagnano. A tall granite cross stands on the Stura di Lanzo side at about 900 metres, visible from the villages around, and is still a landmark for walkers.

The best time to hike is from late spring through early fall, when conditions are most favorable. Trails range in difficulty, allowing visitors to choose a route that matches their ability level.
