The Punta dei Camosci, or Bättelmatthorn, is a mountain of the Lepontine Alps, with an elevation of 3,046 metres (9,993 ft). It is located on the Swiss-Italian border, between the Piedmontese Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in Italy and Canton Valais in Switzerland. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Its Italian side is rocky and bare, whereas the Swiss side is party covered by the Gries glacier. The Siedel Rothorn lies to the north, linked to the Bättelmatthorn by a ridge; the Blinnenhorn is farther north. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
