Description of the route

A mountain with a characteristic profile catches the eye: it is Mont Avic (3006 meters), the emblem of the park of the same name, a protected nature reserve that extends within the territories of Champdepraz and Champorcher.

Mont Avic is located on the ridge that branches off to the north from Mont Glacier (3186 meters), on the border between the municipalities of Champdepraz and Chambave, in the Graian Alps of Aosta Valley.
A statue of the Madonna was placed on its top in 1957.

The ascent to Mont Avic is possible along two itineraries, both with climbing sections that must be carried out by expert hikers with mountaineering equipment and in the presence of good environmental and meteorological conditions.
