Punta dei Camosci, Alpine summit between Valais, Switzerland and Piedmont, Italy.
The mountain rises to an elevation of 3043 meters, featuring rocky terrain on its Italian side and sections of the Gries glacier on its Swiss slopes.
The mountain borders established in the 19th century between Switzerland and Italy designated this peak as a natural frontier between the two nations.
Local mountaineering groups maintain several marked trails leading to the summit, preserving traditional Alpine climbing routes for future generations.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple routes, including paths from Rifugio Città di Busto in Italy or accessing via the Nufenen Pass in Switzerland.
The peak offers different geological formations on each side of the border: glacial landscapes in Switzerland and steep rock faces in Italy.
