Monte Cistella, Alpine summit in Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy
Monte Cistella reaches an elevation of 2,880 meters with three distinct peaks, including the Horn at 2,780 meters and Pizzo Diei at 2,906 meters.
The mountain gained recognition through Giovanni Leoni, a founding member of the local Alpine Club who advocated for mountaineering infrastructure in the early 20th century.
The mountain maintains its position as the symbolic peak of the Ossola Valley, representing the regional identity of the local Alpine communities.
Visitors can access the summit through an alpine trail rated T4, with the Bivacco Giovanni Leoni mountain shelter located 200 meters west-southwest of the peak.
The mountain features extensive flat plateaus above 2,600 meters, shaped by ancient glacial activity that created its characteristic geological formation.
