Monte Tredenus, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy

Monte Tredenus is a mountain summit in the Southern Rhaetian Alps belonging to the Adamello-Presanella group. The terrain features rocky ridges and steep rock formations typical of high alpine environments.

The name Tredenus comes from the Camunian dialect "t. Re de Nus" (torrent Re of the Walnuts), which Austrian cartographers joined into one word while the massif lay within the Austrian Empire, then applied to the mountain. The torrent Tredenus drains the whole basin and downstream takes the name Re.

The name Tredenus comes from the Camunian dialect "t. Re de Nus", meaning torrent Re of the Nuts: Austrian cartographers merged the words when the massif lay in the Austrian Empire. The Tredenus torrent runs through the whole basin and later takes the name Re.

Access by car reaches the Malghe del Volano and the Rifugio De Marie at about 1480 m; from there trail 16 climbs to the Malghe del Dosso at 1928 m and the Bivacco CAI Macherio at 2590 m, a base for equipped excursions. The summit itself is not reached by car.

The massif's highest point is Corno delle Pile at 2,805 metres, not the southern summit. The name comes from the Tredenus stream, which Austrian cartographers recorded as 't. Re de Nus' (stream of the King of Walnuts in Camunian dialect) and merged into one word.
