Pizzo Dosdè, Mountain summit in Sondrio, Italy

Pizzo Dosdè is the highest mountain of Val Dosdè, in the province of Sondrio near the Swiss border, reaching 3,280 metres. Its summit rises about 330 metres above the surrounding terrain, and the Caldarini bivouac serves as a support point for the ascent.

The mountain was first documented to be climbed on August 14, 1879, by mountaineers K. Heumann and L. Giacometti. This early ascent established it as a recognized climbing destination in the region.

The name comes from Val Dosdè, the valley the mountain overlooks and of which it is the highest summit at 3,280 m. The valley lies in the province of Sondrio, close to the Swiss border, and the Caldarini bivouac serves as a support point for the climb.

Access is via Val Viola from the Arnoga hamlet over a seasonal paved road that typically operates from mid-April through mid-November. Visitors should verify access conditions and prepare for mountainous terrain.

Two mountain shelters sit within the area: Rifugio Federico stands at around 2,100 meters and the Caldarini bivouac at approximately 2,550 meters. These facilities offer climbers important support points during their mountaineering journey.
