The Grignetta, also known as Grigna Meridionale, is a mountain of Lombardy, Italy, with an elevation of 2184m (7,165feet). It is located in the Orobic Alps, in the Grigna massif.[1] [2] [3] [4]
It is located in the territory of Mandello del Lario, south of the Grigna and north of Pian dei Resinelli. It has four main ridges: Cresta Segantini to the west, Cresta Sinigaglia to the south-east, Cresta Cermenati to the south, and Cresta di Campione to the east; a fifth ridge, to the north, connects it to the Grigna.[5]
A rocky and rugged mountain, its many pinnacles have been a training ground for mountaineers such as Riccardo Cassin, Emilio Comici and Walter Bonatti.[6] [7]
A small mountain shelter, Bivacco Ferrario, is located on its peak, whereas a mountain hut (Rifugio Rosalba) is located farther down, at the foot of Cresta Segantini. The peak can be reached through various hiking paths and climbing routes.[8] [9] [10]
