The Corno del Camoscio (German: Gemshorn, Walser: Gemschòre) is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, between the Valsesia and the Lys Valley, with an elevation of 3,024 metres (9,921 ft).
Description
Part of the Monte Rosa massif, it is located on the border between the Italian municipalities of Alagna Valsesia, in Piedmont, and Gressoney-La-Trinité, in the Aosta Valley. The Passo dei Salati, to its north, divides it from the Stolemberg; the Col d'Olen, to its south, divides it from the Corno Rosso.[1][2][3][4]
It is possible to reach the panoramic peak on short hiking paths from both passes; a nature trail runs around the summit. The currently abandoned Rifugio Città di Vigevano lies to its southwest.[5][6][7][8]
