Pierre Avoi, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland
Pierre Avoi rises to 2,473 meters in elevation between the Rhone valley and Bagnes valley, featuring steep rocky trails and metal ladders near its peak.
The mountain has served as a critical geographical marker for centuries, helping locals navigate through the Swiss Pennine Alps during their traditional seasonal migrations.
The summit cross at Pierre Avoi represents the strong connection between mountain communities of Valais and their Alpine religious traditions.
Visitors can access the mountain via cable cars from La Tzoumaz or Le Creux to Savoleyres station, where the hiking trail begins at 2,332 meters.
The final approach to Pierre Avoi includes a section with fixed metal ladders that lead hikers through a narrow rocky corridor to reach the summit.
