Monte Chiampon, Summit in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

Monte Chiampon is a 1,709 m summit in the Julian Prealps above Gemona del Friuli, the highest point of the ridge closing the Venzonassa valley to the south. Its two main peaks are Monte Chiampon itself and Monte Deneal (1,703 m) to the west. The massif is karstified and craggy to the south and north, while its foothills and lower slopes are gentler and wooded.

The sources record no historical events, dates or uses for Monte Chiampon; they describe only its geography. It is the highest summit of the ridge closing the Venzonassa valley to the south, running from the Sant'Agnese saddle to the Torre valley, in the municipality of Gemona del Friuli. Its two main summits are Monte Chiampon (1,709 m) and Monte Deneal (1,703 m).

The mountain's name appears in both Italian (Chiampon) and Friulian (Cjampón), and the two summits carry Friulian forms too: Deneâl for Monte Deneal. The long-distance trail Alta Via CAI Gemona, marked out in 2011 by the Gemona CAI section (path 749), crosses the main ridge, so walkers meet its red-and-white markers on the crest.

The climb from Gemona del Friuli is demanding and typically takes several hours for a complete round trip. Visitors should prepare for significant elevation changes, variable weather conditions, and trail difficulty that varies depending on the chosen route.

The Alta Via CAI Gemona, a via ferrata along the Chiampon ridge, was re-marked in 2011 by trail number 749. The massif has two main summits: Monte Chiampon at 1,709 m and, just west, Monte Deneal at 1,703 m. The karst rock is bare on both the north and south faces, while the foothills below are wooded.
