Cima di Nasta (French: Cime de Nasta) is a mountain in the Maritime Alps. It is located in the upper Gesso valley, between the comunes of Valdieri and Entracque, and belongs to the Argentera massif.
Geography
It is located on the secondary ridge which, detaching itself from the main Alpine watershed from Cime Guilié in a northerly direction, reaches Mount Argentera. The watershed of this ridge, on which the peak lies, separates Valdieri and Entracque. Geologically, it is composed of gneiss.
Ascent
The first ascent was made in 1878 by British mountaineer Douglas Freshfield. It was an ascent "by mistake" as Freshfield intended to climb the southern peak of Argentera.
