Monte Zerbion

Mont Dzerbion rises to 2,722 meters between Valtournenche and Val d'Ayas valleys, offering clear views of Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn peaks.

In 1932, local communities installed a seven-meter bronze statue of the Virgin Mary at the summit to honor soldiers from World War I.

Every July 29, residents from Saint-Vincent, Châtillon, La Magdeleine, Brusson, and Ayas gather for the Feast of Our Lady procession to the summit.

Two primary hiking routes reach the summit: a three-hour path from Antagnod in Val d'Ayas and another from La Magdeleine in Valtournenche.

The statue's pedestal contains an eight-meter-high chamber with an altar, making it a destination for religious ceremonies at 2,722 meters.
