Monte Meidassa, Alpine summit in Piedmont, Italy
Monte Meidassa is an Alpine summit standing at 3,105 meters between Valle Pellice and Valle Po in Piedmont. The peak forms a natural border between the provinces of Turin and Cuneo in the southwestern Alps.
The summit has served as a geographical border marker between administrative regions since modern Italian provincial boundaries were established in the 1800s. Its position on the watershed made it a natural reference point for territorial divisions.
Local mountaineering communities actively use this summit for climbing activities and skill-sharing throughout the year. The mountain serves as a gathering point where climbers exchange knowledge about Alpine routes and techniques.
Reaching the summit requires proper mountain gear and stable weather, with trails starting from Pian del Re in Crissolo. Visitors should prepare for rapid weather changes and bring adequate clothing for high-altitude conditions.
The mountain's northern face displays distinctive layered rock formations characteristic of the southwestern Alps. These geological patterns are particularly visible and offer climbers a natural study in Alpine geology.
