Herbétet

The Herbétet peak rises to 3,778 meters within the Gran Paradiso massif, featuring four distinct glaciers across its northeastern, northwestern, southwestern, and southeastern slopes.

The first documented climb of Herbétet occurred on August 22, 1873, when mountaineer L. Barale successfully reached the summit through the North-Northeast ridge route.

The mountain stands within Gran Paradiso National Park, where strict conservation rules protect local flora and fauna while allowing regulated climbing activities.

Climbers can start their ascent from either Cogne or Valsavarenche villages, with the Bivacco Leonessa shelter positioned 1,867 meters east of the summit.

The mountain holds position 14 among 438 peaks in the Gran Paradiso Massif and contains four separate glaciers: Herbétet, Gran Neyron, Montandayné, and Tsasset.
