Punta dell'Aquila

With compact snow and completely clear weather conditions, the ascent at night with a full moon is beautiful. Obviously bring a flashlight for safety but experiment with the climb with the lights off: you will realize that you can see very well only with the moonlight and the reflection of the snow. Along the way there is a beautiful panorama of the Turin plain, and a fantastic 360 degree panorama at the top.

A nice ride a few kilometers from Turin. You arrive from Giaveno, follow towards Coazze until the Ponte Pietra - Aquila crossroads. You park in the Alpe Colombino square.
If the snow is already well deposited, crampons are more useful than snowshoes.

from here you can continue on the ridge to several other peaks
