Cima Tosa, Mountain summit in Brenta Dolomites, Italy
Description
Cima Tosa is a rock summit in the Brenta Dolomites that rises to 3,136 meters and features a prominent north face overlooking the Val Rendena valley. The terrain consists of bare stone with snow-covered sections that give the mountain its distinctive profile.
History
The first recorded ascent took place in 1865 when a climbing team summited via the southeast slope, establishing the standard route that is still used today. This marked the beginning of modern mountaineering activity on this peak.
Culture
The mountain's name comes from the local dialect and refers to its bare appearance due to the characteristic snow cap topping the rocky summit. Visitors notice this striking white crown from far away, giving the peak its distinctive look.
Practical
The mountain is best approached by climbers between June and September when weather is more stable and conditions favor safer ascents. The nearby valley town of Madonna di Campiglio serves as a convenient starting point.
