Monte Chersogno, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy

Monte Chersogno is a 3,026 m rocky pyramid in the Cottian Alps, in the Monviso Alps subsection, above the upper Maira valley in the municipality of Prazzo. Its sides fall steeply in every direction except the west, which descends gently toward Chersogno Pass. The rock is Permian conglomeratic quartzite with mica-schist bands and rhyolite pebbles.

The sources record no first ascent or early survey. The mountain's name was used for the fictional village in the 2004 film Il vento fa il suo giro, directed by Giorgio Diritti and set in the Maira valley. The peak lies on the ridge between Prazzo and Acceglio, and its rock, Permian quartzite and conglomerate, is among the oldest formations in the Cottian Alps.

The mountain lent its name to the fictional village of Chersogno in the 2004 film Il vento fa il suo giro, directed by Giorgio Diritti and set in the Maira valley. The peak stands above Prazzo, and the hamlets of Campiglione and Ussolo are the usual starting points for walkers heading to the Chersogno pass.

The climb requires proper hiking boots and experience as the route is demanding with steep sections. Start early in the day and monitor weather conditions closely, as alpine conditions can change quickly.

The mountain lent its name to the fictional village of Chersogno in the 2004 film Il vento fa il suo giro, directed by Giorgio Diritti and shot in the upper Maira valley. The peak itself appears only indirectly: it is the name, not the setting, that the film borrows.
