PUNTA ALLIEVI
Spigolo Gervasutti — A historic and rewarding climb to a sharp summit in the wilderness of high Valmasino.
A brilliant “old-style” alpine climb tracing the elegant South Ridge of Punta Allievi. First climbed by the legendary Giusto Gervasutti—known as il Fortissimo, the strongest of his time—this long and varied route offers everything from exposed pitches to easier scrambling between steeper sections. A true classic of the Masino granite, rich in character and perfect for those who appreciate adventure, history, and beautiful line.
