Cima di Entrelor

Cima di Entrelor is an Alpine summit in Aosta Valley that rises to 3,430 meters (11,250 feet) and forms the northern point of a ridge between two neighboring valleys. The peak presents a challenging climb with varied terrain including glaciated sections and steep rock faces.

The first recorded ascent occurred in 1877 when two mountaineers established the North Arête route that climbers still use today. The peak has since become a recognized destination for experienced Alpine climbers seeking technical challenges.

The mountain stands within the Italian Alpine territory where local communities maintain strong connections to mountaineering and winter sports traditions.

The climb begins from lower elevations around 2000 meters and follows marked paths through high meadows before reaching the glacier section. Proper Alpine gear including crampons and ice axes is essential, as the route demands previous mountaineering experience and solid rock climbing skills.

The ascent crosses the Glacier of Percià, a technically demanding section featuring crevasses and ice formations that challenge even experienced climbers. This glacial passage is what distinguishes the route from many other Alpine climbs in the region.
