Cristallina, Mountain summit in Lepontine Alps, Switzerland.
The Cristallina peak reaches an elevation of 2,912 meters and stands between the valleys of Leventina, Val Bavona, and Valle di Peccia in Ticino canton.
The mountain formation occurred during the Alpine orogeny, when tectonic plates collided to create the characteristic peaks of the Lepontine Alps region.
Local mountaineering traditions include annual climbing expeditions to Cristallina summit, connecting generations of Swiss alpine communities through shared experiences.
Climbers access the mountain through the Cristallina Hut on the western side, which serves as a base for expeditions and provides shelter during ascents.
The mountain's geographic position creates distinct weather patterns, where three valleys meet, resulting in specific climbing conditions throughout different seasons.
