Monte Tesoro, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy
Monte Tesoro rises to 1,432 meters (4,698 feet) and marks a natural boundary between the San Martino Valley and Valle Imagna in the Bergamasque Prealps. The mountain sits in Lombardy and features multiple trail systems for hikers to reach the summit.
A 15-meter metal cross was installed at the summit in 1985 to commemorate Italian soldiers who died in military conflicts throughout history. The memorial marks the mountain's connection to national events and sacrifice.
The summit cross, a 15-metre metal structure, was raised in 1985 as a war memorial, and the shrine beside it is what walkers find at the top. The mountain's name, Monte Tesoro ("treasure mountain"), is the name visitors see on local signs and maps of the Albenza ridge.
Hikers can reach the peak through various routes, including paths from Forcella Alta, the Valcava pass at Combeli, and Boccio in Carenno. Trail conditions and accessibility change with the season and weather.
The webcam that frames Monte Tesoro belongs to the amateur weather station of Sopracornola, a hamlet of Calolziocorte, not to a station on the summit. It refreshes its view of the mountain every five minutes, so the peak can be checked remotely in any weather.
