Pizzo Recastello

Pizzo Recastello is a mountain summit in the Bergamasque Alps that stands at 2,886 meters (9,469 feet) with multiple climbing paths crossing rocky and grassy sections. The peak sits among several valleys and provides views across the surrounding Alpine landscape.

Italian mountaineers first documented climbing routes on this peak during the early 1900s as Alpine sport grew in popularity. Since then the mountain has developed a reputation among climbing enthusiasts.

Local mountain communities maintain traditional Alpine farming practices around Pizzo Recastello, including seasonal livestock grazing and cheese production in summer pastures.

Plan your visit between June and September when weather conditions are most favorable for climbing and mountain facilities are more accessible. Having proper mountaineering gear and Alpine experience makes the ascent safer and more enjoyable.

On clear days the summit reveals views extending to the distant Adamello Group across multiple valleys on the horizon. This far-reaching perspective allows visitors to take in a vast section of the Alpine world from a single vantage point.
