Pyramides Calcaires, Limestone summit in Val Veny, Italy
Two white peaks form a rocky ridge at 2726 meters elevation, with the northeast pyramid containing limestone and the southwest peak featuring metamorphic rocks.
The summit stands near ancient military fortifications carved into the rock, marking historical defense positions along the Italian-French border in the Mont Blanc region.
The Rifugio Elisabetta Soldini mountain hut provides accommodation and local knowledge for climbers traversing the Tour du Mont Blanc hiking circuit.
Climbers access the peaks from June through October, starting at Rifugio Elisabetta with a 600-meter elevation gain through meadows and rocky terrain.
The limestone composition of these peaks creates a distinct geological contrast against the predominant granite formations throughout the Mont Blanc massif.
