Becca di Nona

The Becca di Nona reaches an elevation of 3,142 meters, standing as one of the primary peaks visible from the city of Aosta in northwestern Italy.

Local residents previously referred to this mountain as 'Pic de douze heures' due to its relationship with the sun's position at specific times during the day.

The mountain summit features a cast-iron sculpture of Our Lady, installed in 1892, making it a significant religious landmark in the Graian Alps region.

Hikers can start their ascent from Stack at 1,814 meters, facing a vertical climb of 1,160 meters through a demanding trail that takes approximately four hours.

Every June 29th, during Saints Peter and Paul celebrations, mountaineers organize night expeditions to light fires at the peak, creating visible signals across distant valleys.
