Monte Roisetta

Monte Roisetta is an Alpine summit in the Pennine Alps with two distinct peaks connected by a ridge. The southern peak stands lower in elevation but remains more accessible for mountaineers than its northern counterpart.

The mountain was first documented as climbed in 1901, establishing it as a recognized objective in the region. Since then, it has remained a popular destination for experienced mountaineers in the northern Italian Alps.

The local name comes from the valley's traditional dialect and reflects how people historically understood the landscape's ice-covered features.

The climb starts from the Cheneil parking area and follows marked trails through the mountain pastures. Proper equipment and mountaineering experience are necessary, as steep scree slopes and exposed sections require careful footing.

The northern peak requires crossing a narrow rocky ridge with loose stones, which many climbers avoid and instead celebrate their ascent at the southern summit.
