Cima delle Lobbie

Cima delle Lobbie reaches an elevation of 3,015 meters and forms a ridge between the Varaita and Po valleys in the Piedmont region of Italy.

The first ascent of Cima delle Lobbie occurred on April 15, 1897, when mountaineers Ercole Daniele, Carlo Ratti, and Alberto Viglino climbed the southwest ridge.

The mountain's name might originate from the Piedmontese word 'lobia', meaning balcony, or from Franco-Provençal 'labia', referring to stone slabs.

The normal route to the summit starts from Castello di Pontechianale at 1,580 meters and requires grade II climbing skills on the northwest face.

At the mountain's base grows the Alevè Forest, Europe's largest Swiss stone pine forest, with one specimen reaching an altitude of 2,950 meters.
