Monte Rognoso, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Description
Monte Rognoso is a 1,952 meter (6,404 feet) summit rising between the Susa and Viù valleys with a distinctive cone shape. The mountain sits on the watershed of the Dora Riparia basin and defines the landscape of this alpine area.
History
During World War II, the mountain slopes witnessed a significant clash in July 1944 between partisan fighters and Nazi-fascist forces. This battle left lasting marks on the memory of local communities.
Culture
The mountain marks a natural boundary between different valleys and the communities that have inhabited them for generations. This dividing line shapes how people perceive and move through the landscape today.
Practical
Reaching the summit requires solid hiking experience and sure-footedness, especially on the eastern ridge with its loose rock sections. Wind and rapidly changing weather are common, so bring protective gear for sudden conditions.
Did you know?
The mountain stands out for its isolated position that sets it clearly apart from the surrounding Graian Alps. This distinctiveness makes it an easy-to-spot landmark when moving through the mountain terrain.
