Monte Cadelle

Monte Cadelle rises to 2,483 meters within the Alpi Orobie Occidentali range, presenting rocky ridges on its northern face and grassy slopes to the south.

The mountain gained additional significance after the Valtellina flood of 1987, leading to the placement of a three-faced statue of Archangel Gabriel at its peak.

The summit connects three valleys - Val Brembana, Val Tartano, and Val Madre - each represented by one face of the memorial statue at the top.

Hikers can access Monte Cadelle through multiple marked trails, with the primary route starting from Foppolo and following trail number 201 toward Passo Porcile.

From the peak, visitors observe notable mountains including Redorta, Diavolo di Tenda, Corno Stella, and the Retiche Alps chain with Badile and Bernina.
