Becca di Nona

Becca di Nona is a mountain peak in Aosta Valley that rises to 3,142 meters (10,308 feet) above sea level. The summit stands out prominently in the Graian Alps range and can be seen from various points across the region.

Locals once called this peak 'Pic de douze heures', a name referring to the sun's position at particular times of day. This old name reflects how mountain communities have long observed and named peaks based on natural cycles.

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.

The climb begins from Stack, a starting point at 1,814 meters (5,951 feet), and follows a steep trail to the summit. The route is demanding and requires solid mountain experience and good physical condition.

A cast-iron statue of Mary was installed at the summit in 1892 and remains a distinctive landmark visible from afar. This religious sculpture has become an iconic feature of the peak's appearance over more than a century.
