Cima della Laurasca, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Cima della Laurasca is a mountain summit in the Lepontine Alps, located between the Val Grande and Val Loana valleys in Piedmont. It rises to 2,193 meters and forms a notable peak within this Alpine range.
The mountain became part of Val Grande National Park in 1992, marking an important conservation step for this Alpine region. This designation changed how the area is managed and protected.
Local hikers and mountaineers use the marked trails as a way to connect with the Alpine landscape and share walking traditions passed down through generations. The routes serve as gathering points where communities engage with the mountain and its surrounding valleys.
The climb to the summit begins near Malesco and follows a clearly marked path through the terrain. The Bivacco Scaredi shelter lies to the northwest and offers refuge if needed during the hike.
The summit is often used as part of multi-day hiking routes, as the surrounding valleys offer multiple connecting trails. Hikers report excellent views of neighboring peaks and valleys, particularly when weather conditions are clear.
