Massa del Turlo, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Massa del Turlo is a mountain summit in the Alps located between Valsesia and Valle Strona at 1,960 meters elevation. The terrain offers clear views of the surrounding landscape and is accessible through established hiking routes.
The mountain has long served as a landmark in the Alpine region. A metal cross was installed at the summit in 1982, which renewed the peak marker and continues to stand today.
The term 'Massa' is common in the Valsesia region and refers to elevated terrain formations like this one. Today, hikers use the mountain as part of their routes and value it for the views it provides.
Two mountain shelters near Piane di Cervarolo provide accommodation and meals, especially during warmer months. The hiking routes are well marked, but sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing are recommended.
From the peak, distant mountain ranges are visible including Monte Rosa and several other Alpine summits. This sightline makes the location valuable for Alpine observation during clear weather.
