Corno Bussola

Corno Bussola rises to 3022.85 meters in elevation within the Pennine Alps, featuring a prominent metallic cross at its peak and multiple alpine lakes below.

The mountain stands as part of the Western Alps classification system, with the Palasinaz Pass serving as a critical connection point at 2,668 meters elevation.

Local mountaineering traditions center around summer ascents from the Arp mountain hut, which operates as a gathering point for regional climbing communities.

Hikers can reach the summit by following marked paths from the Arp Hut at 2,446 meters, passing several mountain lakes before ascending to the 2,805-meter pass.

The mountain creates a natural division between two tributary valleys of the Évançon: Mascognaz valley to the north and Conca di Palasinaz.
