Corna Trentapassi

Corna Trentapassi is a forested limestone mountain rising to 1,247 metres above Lake Iseo's north-western shore. Its distinctive pyramid profile closes the lake's northern horizon.

Why it matters

Corna Trentapassi defines Lake Iseo's north-western landscape. The peak descends toward the shore between Zone and Marone, and its summit cross overlooks the northern basin, Valle Camonica and Monte Guglielmo.

What to notice

A steel cross marks the highest limestone crest, with views across the lake and its towns. The Forcella del Zuf is a notch on the mountain ridge. Olive groves and the small Madonnina shrine are features of its slopes.

Context and history

The mountain stands where the lake's western shore turns towards Valle Camonica, above Zone, Toline and Vello. Local toponymy preserves the name via dei Trenta Passi, associated with the old mule track from Zone. The paths reflect older connections between valley settlements, while a steel cross marks the summit.
