Monte Pelvo

Monte Pelvo, Mountain summit in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy.

Monte Pelvo is a 2,773 m mountain in the Cottian Alps on the watershed between the Val di Susa and the Val Chisone, southeast of the Colle delle Finestre. Three ridges converge at the summit, where a metal cross stands. The south-west ridge carries the Forte Serre Marie at 1,894 m, and the mountain lies within the Parco naturale Orsiera-Rocciavrè.

The sources record no founding event or dated first ascent for Monte Pelvo; its documented history is tied to the Forte Serre Marie, built in 1894 at 1,894 m on the south-west ridge facing the Val Chisone. The mountain lies within the Parco naturale Orsiera-Rocciavrè, and the summit now carries a metal cross.

The name Pelvo recurs across the western Alps and comes from a Celtic word for a steep rocky mountain; the French sources trace it to a Ligurian term with the same meaning. The summit carries a metal cross, and the south-west ridge passes Forte Serre Marie at 1,894 m, one of the fortifications of the Val Chisone line.

Marked trails of varying difficulty lead to the summit, from moderate to advanced climbing sections. Proper equipment and weather awareness are necessary for safe passage, especially on steeper stretches.

The summit carries a metal cross, and the normal route follows the east ridge from a small grassy col reached from Fort Serre Marie. The name Pelvo comes from a Celtic or Ligurian word for a steep rocky mountain, a toponym common in the western Alps.
