Pizzo Campo Tencia

Pizzo Campo Tencia, Alpine summit in Ticino, Switzerland.

Pizzo Campo Tencia is a 3,072 m summit in the Lepontine Alps, on the border between the Leventina and Vallemaggia districts. Its north and northeast flanks hold the Ghiacciaio Grande and Ghiacciaio Piccolo di Crozlina, split from one glacier until the early 20th century. The Capanna Campo Tencia, built in 1912 at 2,140 m, stands below the glacier.

The first ascent took place on 4 August 1867, when Gottlieb Samuel Studer, the physician Wilhelm Lindt, a lawyer named Aebi and a porter called Caveng reached the summit, guided by Peter Sulzer from Guttannen via Dalpe. The Capanna Campo Tencia at 2,140 m was built in 1912 as the first shelter of the SAC's Ticino section. Since the glaciers shrank, the mountain has become an alpine hiking summit in summer.

The mountain's name appears as Campo Tencca in older sources, and the two glaciers carry the name Crozlina on Swiss national maps. The Capanna Campo Tencia, built in 1912, was the first shelter of the SAC's Ticino section. The Capanna Sovèltra in Val di Prato has been closed since 2017.

From the Capanna Campo Tencia, a blue-and-white marked trail leads over the Bocchetta di Crozlina and the northwest ridge to the summit (T4+, climbing up to grade II). The Capanna Sovèltra has been closed since 2017; from there the east ridge is partly pathless over scree. In winter, ski tours start from Dalpe (S+) or the Rifugio Pradòi (S).

The glacier north-east of the summit is split into the Ghiacciaio Grande and Ghiacciaio Piccolo di Crozlina, one ice field until the early 20th century. The Swiss national map labels both; the two arms descend toward Val Piumogna.
