Monte Palon

Monte Palon is a summit in the Graian Alps near Piedmont, standing at approximately 3,000 meters. The terrain features steep slopes and exposed rock throughout.

The mountain sits within ancient territory controlled by the Graioceli, a Celtic people who managed Alpine passes. Early inhabitants shaped how mountain routes were used for generations.

The mountain holds importance in local climbing traditions, with steep rock walls that draw mountaineers seeking technical challenges. Alpine guides have shaped routes across these slopes over many generations.

The climb requires mountaineering experience and technical equipment to navigate the rock safely. A mountain hut sits below the summit and provides shelter during ascents.

From the summit, both the Po Valley and Mont Blanc massif are visible, creating a rare vantage point connecting two separate Alpine regions. This perspective links landscapes that typically appear distinct to travelers.
