Pizzo Arera

The Pizzo Arera rises to an elevation of 2,512 meters, featuring limestone formations and steep slopes that dominate the Lombardy landscape.

The mountain served as a natural border between different valleys throughout centuries, influencing the development of local communities and trade routes.

The surrounding villages maintain traditional festivals that celebrate the mountain's presence through music, food, and communal gatherings throughout the year.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails starting from Zambla Alta, with the Rifugio Capanna 2000 providing shelter and supplies.

The mountain hosts the rare Galium montis-arerae plant species, which grows exclusively on its limestone cliffs and nowhere else in the world.
