Monte Faraut, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Monte Faraut rises to 3046 meters within the Cottian Alps, featuring steep slopes and a prominent position in the Valle Varaita landscape.
The mountain served as a natural boundary marker between different alpine communities, influencing the development of local settlements through centuries.
Monte Faraut stands near several mountain hamlets where traditional architecture includes restored barns, sundials, and bell towers reflecting regional building techniques.
Climbers should begin their ascent early in the morning to avoid hazardous conditions in the Barricate gorge, which collects falling debris and ice.
The mountain's northern slope provides exceptional ski touring opportunities through a route that transitions from narrow gorges to expansive high-altitude cirques.
