Grand Golliat, Mountain peak in Pennine Alps, Switzerland-Italy border

Grand Golliat is a mountain peak in the Pennine Alps standing at 3,238 meters (10,623 feet) on the Switzerland-Italy border. It forms a natural ridge between the Swiss canton of Valais and Italy's Aosta Valley, serving as a clear geographic boundary.

The name Grand Golliat, also spelled Grand Golliaz, does not refer to the biblical Goliath. It comes from goille in Valdostan patois or gouille in Valdostan French, meaning a pool of water or small lake, referring to the small lakes on the Italian side of the mountain. The summit, 3,238 metres high, lies between the Petit Col Ferret and the Great St. Bernard Pass.

The name does not refer to the biblical Goliath but to the Valdostan patois word goille, or gouille in Valdostan French, meaning a pool or small lake; the variant spellings Grand-Goliath and Grand Golliaz are homophones. The Artanavaz torrent rises at the foot of the mountain and runs down the Gran San Bernardo valley.

Several hiking trails connect this peak to nearby passes, creating multiple routes through the Alpine network in the area. The terrain is steep and exposed in places, so proper equipment and mountain experience are essential for a safe visit.
