Monte Birrone, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Monte Birrone rises to 2131 meters between the Maira and Varaita valleys, featuring metamorphic rock formations along its slopes and ridges.
An old military road constructed near Monte Birrone provided access to strategic defense positions, now serving as a primary route for visitors.
The mountain territory spans three communities: Frassino and Sampeyre in Varaita Valley, and San Damiano Macra in Maira Valley.
The standard climbing route starts from the military road at the water divide, leading through marked paths to the summit cross.
The mountain contains rocks from the Dora-Maira complex and Pietre verdi di Gastaldi formation, creating a geological intersection west of the peak.
