Schwarzhorn, Mountain peak in Gressoney-La-Trinité, Italy.
The Corno Nero rises to 4,322 meters within the Pennine Alps, featuring steep vertical drops on the Italian side and gentler slopes on the Swiss border.
The mountain, part of the Monte Rosa Massif, has served as a natural boundary between Italy and Switzerland throughout Alpine mapping and territorial developments.
Local mountaineering traditions incorporate the peak's multiple names across languages, including Schwarzhorn in German and Tête Noire in French, reflecting the regional diversity.
Climbers access the summit via the Lys Glacier, requiring full glacier equipment and typically departing from either Rifugio Mantova or Capanna Gnifetti mountain shelters.
The normal climbing route crosses hidden crevasses and demands technical expertise, with the summit offering views toward both Val Sesia and the Gressoney Valley.
