Monte Scorluzzo is a summit of the Ortler Alps, located in Lombardy, Italy close to the border to Trentino-Alto Adige and Grisons, Switzerland. It lies within Stelvio National Park,[1] and is known as an "easy three-thousander" as its summit can be reached within a 1.5 hour hike from Stelvio Pass.
The mountain was occupied by Austria-Hungary during the White War, and today the remains of the military positions can still be seen.[1]
