ITALY:  Western Alps – Rutor & Sassière Ranges

33 Mountains with Prominence of 140 meters or greater
   
Introduction

This is the first of an occasional series of ‘deep lists’ of the Italian Western Alps, which has been produced as a by-product of the project to list all the summits in France to P140m.  It is not the intention to complete lists for all areas, but only those that are contiguous with the French border.  Any attempt to complete a full ‘deep listing’ for Italy would be difficult, due to the inconsistencies in Italian mountain cartography.  

The list

List compiled and maintained by Mark Trengove, with mapping and computer assistance from Jonathan de Ferranti.

Mark Trengove has provided this list of summits in the Rutor and Grande Sassière Ranges in the Western Italian Alps, which are located south-west of the popular ski resort of Aosta.  This group includes 2 summits with a prominence of over P600m (‘Majors’), and a total of 32 P150m summits.

The Italian group is bounded on the north by the S26 road and Val d’Aosta, on the east and south by Val Savarenche, and on the west by Italian-French frontier.

A computer generated list of the whole range to P140m, including the French summits, can be found by visiting this page.
