Main image

Corno dei Tre Signori is a mountain peak in northern Italy located in the Lombardy region. The name means “Horn of the Three Lords” and denotes a high point where multiple valleys or jurisdictions meet.

The summit area draws mountaineers and hikers for alpine ridge walking and for views over adjoining valleys. Routes in the surrounding alpine terrain connect to other peaks in the range and to valley trailheads used for day and multi-day excursions.

Historically the peak’s name reflects its position at a meeting point of traditional local boundaries; the area has been used seasonally for grazing and as a route between valleys. Over time recreational climbing and hiking have become the primary uses of the high ground.

The mountain sits in the Italian Alps within Lombardy, surrounded by steep valley relief and high alpine ridges. Nearest towns lie in Lombardy’s mountain valleys and access is typically from valley trailheads.
