Testa Gemella Occidentale
Testa Gemella Occidentale, or Westlicher Zwillingskopf, is a mountain peak on the border of Italy and Austria. Since 1997 it has been officially considered the northernmost point of Italy, although the nearby Vetta d'Italia, which is located to the west and to the south, has often been considered the northernmost point.Location
The mountainous ridge on which the Testa Gemella Occidentale is located, shaped like a horseshoe, embraces the Aurino valley, separating the autonomous province of Bolzano from Salzburg. The valley road leads to Austria via the pass of the Forcella del Picco.
