Monte Pasquale

The first woman to reach the summit was a Milanese, in the summer of 1891.

Monte Pasquale, in German Osterberg, rises to 3,553 metres on a short secondary ridge that branches off westwards from Monte Cevedale, in the Ortles Alps, in the province of Sondrio and within the Parco nazionale dello Stelvio. The summit is rounded and covered in old snow, and from the north it looks like a regularly shaped dome; from there pronounced ridges run towards the east, south-west and north-west.

It is completely surrounded by glaciers: to the north the vedrette of Cedèc and Pasquale, to the south the Vedretta del Rosole. To the east, separated by the Col Pasquale, which stands at 3,423 metres, rises Monte Cevedale, just over a kilometre away and 3,769 metres high.

The first documented ascent took place on 26 July 1889, as part of a traverse towards the Cevedale, and was made by the Milanese lawyer and photographer Giacomo Cavaleri with the guides Battista Confortola and Filippo Cola. Two summers later, in 1891, the first woman reached the summit, Maria Rognoni-Peduzzi of Milan. Today the normal route follows the east ridge and has as its base the rifugio Gianni Casati, at 3,254 metres; in winter it is a popular ski touring destination, also convenient from the rifugio Pizzini.

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
