Monte Albergian Summit

The Albergian is located along the ridge between the Chisone valley and the Massello valley. In particular, going up the Val Chisone, near Pragelato, you can see it on the left and it looks like a massive mountain visible from all over the valley.The summit is made up of a crest about ten meters long and surmounted by a large metal cross.It is absolutely worth the climb, breathtaking landscape. It is necessary to plan well the rise time in relation to the weather which can change quickly.

At just over 3,000 meters above sea level, Monte ALBERGIAN is by no means the largest in the so-called "Cottian Alps", but still offers an impressive panorama. Like many other mountains, it is crowned with a summit cross. The longitudinal and cross beams are formed by a metal frame, which has been reinforced by x-shaped struts in the interior spaces for stability. An additional circle or ring is attached around the intersection of both bars. It's not a huge cross (at 3 to 3.5 meters high, I estimate), but it sits majestically on the mountain peak and is clearly visible.

One of the most beautiful mountains to climb in Val Chisone. Physically demanding for the length but never technically difficult. In the summer I recommend starting with the first light of dawn to get to the top early, or the weather conditions can compromise visibility and it would be a shame.
