Monte Cassa del Ferro

Monte Cassa del Ferro is a rocky peak in the Livigno Alps standing at about 3140 meters high with steep, exposed slopes. The terrain is harsh and demand mountaineering skills for safe passage.

The peak served as a key reference point during early Alpine survey campaigns in the 1800s. Its position in the Rhaetian Alps made it a natural landmark for charting the mountain range.

Local mountaineering groups organize annual climbing expeditions to Monte Cassa del Ferro, maintaining traditional Alpine climbing practices through generations.

Summer months offer the best climbing window when snow melts and conditions are more stable. It is important to plan with local knowledge and monitor weather closely, as mountain conditions can shift rapidly.

The summit sits on a narrow ridge running between two deeper valleys, creating a dramatic perspective from the peak. This distinctive spine makes the route memorable and technically interesting for experienced climbers.
