Zone Adamello Presanella
The area is surrounded by peaks; the mountain group ends with the northern section of Cevedale (3769m) – San Matteo (3676 m), 13 peaks over 3500 meters. The southern section comprehends Adamello (3554m) and Presanella (3558m), plus the widest glacier of the entire Alps, Mandrone glacier, 17kmq of quaternary ice. Because of the glacial environment in which the First World War was fought, the conflict has taken the name “White War”.
