Monte Cistella

It is wholly in Ossolan territory and comprises three main peaks: the horn , the Cistella peak and pizzo Diei . It is unusual as a mountain as these three peaks are connected by large relatively flat plateaus at an altitude of over 2600m. They were probably smoothed out by large glaciers and the result is a highly individual mountain that is instantly recognisable . It is the most symbolic mountain of the Ossola valley . But it is the most loved by the Ossolani, especially by the Vate dell'Ossola , Giovanni Leoni, who over one hundred years ago sang its praise. Ul Totorotela was one of the founders of the local Alpine Club as well as poet and traveller. He and his family had and still have a long connection with this mountain and over 100 years ago he campaigned to build a mountain hut, a shelter for keen alpinists that still bear his name.
