Grand Tournalin, Alpine summit in Aosta Valley, Italy
Grand Tournalin rises to 3379 meters with two distinct peaks, featuring a north summit that stands 9 meters higher than its southern counterpart.
The mountain entered alpinism records in 1863 when Jean-Antoine Carrel and Edward Whymper completed the first documented ascent of its peaks.
The mountain holds significance in Italian mountaineering traditions, serving as a focal point for expert climbers seeking technical ascents in the Pennine Alps.
Climbers typically access the summit from the southern route, as the northern face presents unstable rock conditions that make climbing more hazardous.
From its position between Ayas Valley and Valtournenche, the summit provides direct views of both the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa massifs.
