    Corno Grande is the highest peak on the Italian Peninsula, at 2,912 m above sea level, situated in the central Italian province of Teramo in the Abruzzo region. It is part of the Gran Sasso massif in the Apennine Mountains. Its northern corrie holds Europe's southernmost glacier, Ghiacciaio del Calderone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corno_Grande
    You can hike it as a loop, following the 'direttissima' sign going up, and the main trail coming down. Also helps to avoid the weekend crowds in the morning ;-) Campo Imperatore is the starting point komoot.de/tour/3906922

      The Normal Route is a fairly simple route, except for the last 400 meters, the gully and the ridge, which, being EEA grade (expert equipped hikers), require considerable physical strength and technique. Mountaineering boots are also required, and a helmet is recommended. Since the ridge is also quite technical, it is absolutely not suitable for those with a fear of heights, the elderly, children, or anyone without mountaineering experience.

        Via Diretta is more difficult than via Normale. From the top great view. In clear days you could see both Adriatica and Tirrenean seas (more that 200 km distance).
