Tresenta, Mountain summit in Gran Paradiso Massif, Italy.
Tresenta is a mountain summit in the Gran Paradiso Massif that reaches 3609 meters in elevation, with steep rocky walls and snow-covered slopes. The peak sits in a landscape shaped by glaciers and rocky terrain between the Aosta Valley and Piedmont.
Tresenta was first climbed in 1867 by the Italian mountaineers Baretti and Blanchetti. The mountain lies on the border between Piedmont and the Aosta Valley, and its normal route starts at the Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele II at 2,732 m.
The summit cross was made by the Nerviano section of the CAI, the Italian Alpine Club, and stands on the border ridge between Noasca in Piedmont and Valsavarenche in the Aosta Valley. The mountain's French name is Mont Trésenta, used on the Aosta Valley side.
The normal route starts at Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele II (2,732 m), reached from Pont Valsavarenche. From the hut climbers cross the moraine and the Montcorvé Glacier, then continue up the debris-covered north-west flank to the summit. Glacier travel and alpine equipment are required.
On the summit stands a cross placed by the Nerviano section of the CAI. From the top, the view takes in the bulk of Gran Paradiso on one side and the more slender Ciarforon on the other. The first ascent was made in 1867 by the Italian mountaineers Baretti and Blanchetti.
