Rognosa d'Etiache

The Rognosa d'Etiache mountain reaches 3,382 meters in elevation and features three distinct peaks along its northeast to southwest summit ridge.

Augusto Sibille completed the first documented ascent of the southeastern summit in 1875, establishing the initial climbing route to the mountain peak.

The mountain forms a natural border between Italy and France, connecting the Susa valley with the Maurienne valley through its geographical position.

Climbers can begin their ascent from Rifugio Scarfiotti mountain hut at 2,165 meters, following the western-northwestern face to reach the summit.

The southeastern face presents a vertical wall rising 300 meters that remained unclimbed until 1929, when mountaineers established multiple climbing routes.
