Picco Luigi Amedeo

The Pointe Louis Amédée rises to 4,469 meters within the Mont Blanc massif, featuring granite formations in its lower section and schist rocks near the peak.

The first successful climb to the summit occurred on July 20, 1901, when G.B. and G.F. Gugliermina, accompanied by guide Joseph Brocherel, completed their expedition.

The mountain received its name in recognition of Luigi Amedeo, Duke of Abruzzi, an Italian mountaineer who contributed to Alpine exploration and climbing techniques.

Climbers access the mountain through an eight-hour trek to Bivouac Quintino Sella at 3,396 meters, followed by two additional hours to reach the climbing base.

The North-West Face hosts the Perfect Storm route, extending 700 meters to the summit before continuing across the Brouillard Ridge toward Mont Blanc de Courmayeur.
