Punta dell'Aquila, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Punta dell'Aquila rises to 2,119 meters in elevation within the Cottian Alps, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations along its trails.
The mountain contains several established climbing routes that were first documented by Italian mountaineers during the early 20th century exploration of the Cottian Alps.
Local climbing groups regularly organize guided expeditions to Punta dell'Aquila, teaching traditional alpine climbing techniques to new generations of mountaineers.
Hikers can access the summit through multiple marked paths, with the Bivacco 3° Alpini shelter located 555 meters east providing emergency refuge.
The mountain's positioning allows climbers to observe both sunrise over the Turin plain and sunset behind the higher peaks of the western Alps.
