Fiamma, Mountain summit in Lepontine Alps, Switzerland

La Fiamma rises to an elevation of 2,808 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes and a prominent position in the Lepontine Alps range.

The mountain stands as a testament to the geological formations of the Swiss Alps, shaped by millions of years of tectonic activity and glacial movements.

Local mountaineering traditions include annual summer climbing expeditions to La Fiamma's peak, marking the connection between Swiss communities and their Alpine environment.

Capanna Piansecco mountain hut, located 1,642 meters southeast of the summit, provides essential shelter and supplies for climbers traversing the Lepontine Alps.

The mountain's isolation distance of 64 meters and key col height of 33 meters create specific climbing conditions different from neighboring Alpine peaks.
