Mont Néry, Mountain summit in Aosta Valley, Italy
Mont Néry is a mountain peak in the Aosta Valley that rises to 3,075 meters (10,105 feet) between the Ayas and Gressoney valleys. The summit features steep slopes with multiple climbing routes leading to the top.
The peak was first climbed on October 2, 1873, by Abbè Aimè Gorret, Jean Baptiste Bertolin, and Jean Ronco. This early ascent marks an important moment in the mountaineering exploration of the Aosta Valley region.
Local communities call this peak Töitschu Neryschthuare in their dialect, reflecting how deeply rooted the mountain is in the region's everyday culture. The name shows the strong connection between the summit and the identity of valley residents.
The main starting point for climbs is the Champoluc Valley, accessible via the A5 motorway from Turin or Milan. Hikers should prepare for a full day of climbing and allow time for acclimatization due to the significant elevation.
The Bivacco Aldo Cravetto is an emergency shelter positioned on the slope southwest of the summit. This refuge provides crucial support for climbers tackling this demanding route.
