Pizzo del Becco, Mountain summit in Lombardy, Italy.
Pizzo del Becco is a mountain in the Orobie Alps reaching 2,507 meters with rocky slopes and numerous hiking trails. The area includes equipped climbing sections with metal cables and anchors for protected ascents through exposed terrain.
The summit cross was placed in 1987 by the Gruppo Alpinistico Penne Nere of the Boccaleone district of Bergamo. The main approach from Carona follows the trail to the Laghi Gemelli, crossing the Enel cableway several times, then passes Lago Marcio, Lago Casere, the Laghi Gemelli dam and Lago Colombo before the final climb through the canaletto, equipped with a short via ferrata, to the ridge and summit in about five hours.
The summit cross was placed in 1987 by the Gruppo Alpinistico Penne Nere of the Boccaleone district of Bergamo. The name Pizzo del Becco refers to the nearby Lago Becco, a small lake passed on the main ascent from Carona. The route crosses the Enel cableway several times in the pine forest above Carona.
The ascent from Baite di Mezzeno takes about four hours and is best suited for the warmer months from June through October. Visitors should bring appropriate mountain gear and be prepared for changing weather, as conditions can shift rapidly in this elevation.
The ridge presents unexpected views of neighboring peaks and the valley below during the ascent. On clear days, hikers can spot hidden mountain lakes nestled in rocky crevices along the route.
