Mont Tantané, Summit in Aosta Valley, Italy

Mont Tantané reaches 2,734 meters within the Pennine Alps and is crossed by several marked hiking paths that lead across its terrain. These routes provide open views over the surrounding valleys and nearby alpine peaks.

At the foot of the summit pyramid lie the remains of an ancient village of the Salassi, the Celtic population of the Aosta Valley subdued by Rome in 25 BC. The summit carries a geodetic vertex marked by a metal centring disc fixed in the rock, registered by the IGM as MONTE TANTANE' (code 029066).

The summit holds the remains of an ancient Salassi village at the foot of its pyramidal top, a detail hikers pass on the ascent. The Salassi were the Celtic population of the Aosta Valley before the Roman conquest. The mountain's name is written MONTE TANTANE' on the IGM geodetic marker fixed into the rock at the top.

The main climbing routes begin from La Magdeleine and are marked with trail signs, with summer months offering the best conditions for safe ascending. During these warmer months the paths are most passable and weather remains more stable.
