Wasenhorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland

The Punta di Terrarossa reaches an elevation of 3,246 meters and marks the border between Switzerland and Italy in the Lepontine Alps region.

The mountain carries different names across languages, with German speakers using Wasenhorn while Italian communities refer to it as Punta di Terrarossa.

Climbers begin their ascent from Ospizio del Sempione, following marked paths that lead through varied terrain to reach the mountain summit.
