Monte Cusna, Mountain summit in Province of Reggio Emilia, Italy.
Monte Cusna reaches an elevation of 2,121 meters and stands as the second highest peak in the northern Apennines, featuring steep slopes and remote landscapes.
The mountain has been a reference point for local communities through centuries, with its distinctive silhouette visible from the Po Valley earning names like The Giant.
The slopes of Monte Cusna maintain populations of Alpine marmots and semi-wild horses, while ancient white spruce trees grow in the Abetina Reale forest.
The mountain offers various hiking paths connecting multiple refuges, including Rifugio Cesare Battisti and Rifugio Bargetana, with optimal climbing conditions from late spring to early fall.
The northern face of Monte Cusna contains the Febbio resort, which provides facilities for alpine skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing during winter months.
