Becca di Monciair

Becca di Monciair rises to 3,544 meters above sea level, forming a distinct pyramid shape between Tresenta and Ciarforon mountains in the Gran Paradiso range.

The first complete direct ascent to the summit occurred on July 20, 1980, when mountaineers Osvaldo Cardellina and Camillo Roberto Ferronato conquered the challenging conditions.

The mountain earned the nickname 'small Matterhorn of Gran Paradiso' due to its resemblance to the famous Swiss peak in the Valsavarenche region.

Climbers typically begin their journey at Pont parking area and progress to Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele before attempting the final ascent with ice axes and crampons.

The north face of the mountain presents a technical 350-meter climbing route with a slope gradient reaching 45 degrees near the summit section.

Elevation above the sea: 3,544 m
