Monte Tagliaferro

Monte Tagliaferro is a mountain summit in the Pennine Alps within the Province of Vercelli, rising to a significant elevation in this Alpine region. The peak forms a natural boundary between two major valleys and sits surrounded by Alpine vegetation.

The mountain derives its name from a distinctive sharp rock formation found near the peak area. The name translates to 'iron cutting' in Italian, referring to the distinctive appearance of this stone feature.

The peak serves as a gathering point for climbers from surrounding areas who come to test themselves on its various routes through the Alpine landscape. Local mountaineers value this spot for the diversity of climbing options it offers.

The route from the village of Rima San Giuseppe demands full fitness and occupies most of the day, passing through a mountain pass on the way up. Anyone planning this ascent should be in good physical condition and start early in the morning.

A mountain shelter located at mid-elevation provides lodging and food for hikers and climbers making their way to the summit. This facility enables visitors to break their journey and experience the Alpine environment across multiple days.
