Cima dal Cantun 3354 m Alpinism

The Cima dal Cantun, at 3351 m is the second highest point in the mountains between the valleys of the Vadrec di l'Albignia and the Vadrec del Forno. Between these two peaks lies the Passo dal Cantun which connects the two valleys. The Passo del Cantun can be reached both from the Capanna del Forno and the Capanna del l'Albignia. Once upon a time, the north face presented an imposing ice field, which has since suffered greatly under global warming, and is no longer feasible.
