Pizzo d'Uccello

Pizzo d'Uccello rises to 1781 meters with a distinctive three-faced pyramid shape and vertical walls that contrast with the surrounding Apennine peaks.

The first climbing attempts on the north face occurred in 1927 when a team from Genoa established the initial route up the 700-meter vertical wall.

Local mountaineers refer to this peak simply as 'the Pizzo', marking its central role in the development of Italian alpine climbing traditions.

Climbers can access the mountain through two main approaches: the north face via Ugliancaldo or the south face from the village of Vinca.

The north face presents an exceptional 700-meter vertical limestone wall that creates technical climbing conditions comparable to those found in the Dolomites.
