Tresenta

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.

The mountain became part of Gran Paradiso National Park in 1922, gaining protected status. This designation safeguarded the alpine environment and wildlife in the region.

Local mountain guides pass down generations of knowledge about Tresenta's climbing routes, maintaining traditional alpine mountaineering practices in the region.

Climbers typically begin their ascent from Pont Valsavarenche and stay overnight at a mountain hut before reaching the summit the next day. Anyone attempting this peak should have alpine experience and proper equipment.

Near the Moncorvé Glacier, this summit provides researchers with valuable data about climate changes and geological processes. The location allows scientists to observe how the Alpine environment shifts over time.
