Monte Re di Castello, Alpine summit in Lombardy, Italy
Monte Re di Castello is an alpine summit in the Adamello range that rises to about 2,900 meters and features steep rocky cliffs alongside broad mountain meadows. The terrain shows the classic characteristics of this limestone mountain group, with sharp ridges alternating with grassy plateaus.
The mountain formed as part of the limestone arc of the Southern Alps through geological uplift over millions of years. It has historically marked the natural boundary between Lombardy and Trentino, a division that continues in today's regional borders.
Local mountaineering clubs organize annual climbing expeditions to the summit, maintaining traditional alpine climbing practices and documenting new routes.
Reaching the summit requires mountaineering experience and specialized climbing gear. The approach typically starts from a mountain refuge in the area, and visitors should account for altitude adjustment and changing weather when planning their visit.
The mountain ranks among the more prominent peaks of the Southern Limestone Alps due to its isolated position relative to neighboring massifs. This geographic separation makes it a notable landmark visible from many directions across the region.
