Fiamma, Mountain summit in Lepontine Alps, Switzerland
Fiamma is a mountain summit in the Lepontine Alps that reaches 2,808 meters in elevation. The peak features steep rocky slopes and stands in a prominent location within this Alpine range that spans across multiple Swiss regions.
The mountain was shaped over millions of years by tectonic activity and glacial movements. These geological processes created the distinct structure of the Lepontine Alps as we see them today.
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 sits roughly 1.6 kilometers southeast of the summit and offers lodging and supplies for climbers. It serves as an important base for hikers and mountaineers passing through the region.
The mountain's isolation distance of 64 meters and key col height of 33 meters create specific climbing conditions different from neighboring Alpine peaks.
