Cima d'Oin

Cima d'Oin is a mountain summit in the French section of the Graian Alps standing at approximately 2,170 meters. The peak offers multiple routes for climbers of varying skill levels and sits in a dramatic alpine setting with rocky faces and snow-covered slopes.

Early mountaineers opened climbing routes on this peak during the regional exploration of the Graian Alps in the 19th century. These pioneering ascents helped establish the mountain as a training ground for alpine climbers in the region.

The mountain holds significance for both French and Italian climbing communities due to its position near the border between the two nations.

Begin your ascent early in the morning from Rifugio Chivasso with a four-hour climb ahead to the summit. Summer and early autumn offer the most favorable conditions with better visibility and accessible mountain paths.

The north face holds a steep snow couloir that appeals to experienced mountaineers seeking technical winter climbing challenges. This narrow gully remains partially filled with snow even in summer months, creating a distinctive feature on the mountainside.
