Monte Grem, Mountain peak in Bergamasque Pre-Alps, Italy
Monte Grem rises to 2049 meters (6723 ft) between the Val del Riso and Val Serina valleys with rolling grassy slopes. A network of marked hiking routes crosses the mountain, connecting lower elevations to the summit area.
The mountain held valuable mineral deposits including calamine, sphalerite, and galena that attracted mining activity since Roman times. Extraction of these minerals shaped the region's economy and landscape until the late 1900s.
Near the Rifugio-bivacco Enrico Telini, beside trail 263, stands the Madonna degli Alpini, a monument dedicated to all Alpine troops who died in war and in peacetime. The mountain is owned by the municipality of Gorno, and its slopes have been mined for calamine, sphalerite and galena since Roman times.
The main trail begins at Piazza di Oneta following route 223, while alternative paths start from Gorno and the Capanna 2000 shelter. All routes are clearly marked, allowing visitors to choose different duration and difficulty options.
Beside the Rifugio-bivacco Enrico Telini, reached by trail 263, stands the Madonna degli Alpini, a monument to all Alpine troops who died in war and in peacetime. The Baita Alpe Grem at 1098 m can also be reached by car.
