Granta Parey, Alpine summit in Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, Italy

Granta Parey is an alpine summit located in the Val de Rhêmes region of northern Italy, recognizable from various points across the valley. Its distinctive pyramidal shape makes it stand out against the surrounding landscape and visible throughout the seasons.

The first recorded ascent took place on 22 August 1863, when Nichols Blanford and Rowsell, with guides Favret and Jacob, reached the top by the north-west ridge rather than today's normal route. The mountain, 3,387 m high at the head of the Val di Rhêmes near the French border, is the valley's symbol.

The name Granta Parey means "great wall" in Valdostan patois, the same etymology as the nearby Gran Paradiso and the Grande Paréi in the Vanoise massif. Because of its shape and position at the head of the Val de Rhêmes, it is regarded as the valley's symbol mountain.

The normal route starts at the Gian Federico Benevolo refuge at 2,285 m and climbs the western face, alternating ice and snow with short rock steps; it is rated F (facile). The first ascent in 1863 instead followed the north-west ridge. Crampons and an ice axe are needed for the icy sections.

The mountain's white-grey sedimentary rock, limestone and dolomite, is what gives the summit its pale appearance from the valley floor. The first climbers, Nichols Blanford and Rowsell with guides Favret and Jacob, reached the top on 22 August 1863 by the north-west ridge rather than today's normal route.
