Corno Rosso

Corno Rosso rises to 3023 meters between Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions, featuring steep gullies, narrow cirques, and rocky ridges across its terrain points.

The mountain territory has been a significant part of Italian alpine exploration, with its north wall first conquered by mountaineers during the 1960s.

The name translates to Red Horn, reflecting the distinct reddish coloration of its peak structure against the surrounding Alpine landscape of northern Italy.

Multiple access routes begin from Alagna and Gressoney towns, with Abate Carestia hut providing essential shelter and support facilities for climbers.

The mountain stands at the intersection of two major Italian regions, creating a natural boundary marker visible from multiple vantage points in the area.
