イオヴェンカンの絶景の山頂・トップ16

L'Alpe Grandes Arpillesは、Vétanの盆地に位置する標高約2090〜2137メートルの高山牧場です。かつては多くの小屋がありましたが、現在はほとんどが遺跡と化しており、Punta LeysserとMont Fallèreの麓に広がる広大な牧草地を見下ろす、開けた支配的な場所に位置しています。Chatelanazから曲がりくねった農道を通ってアクセスするか、または小川を渡った後Thoulesから直接斜面を登ることで到達できます。この高山牧場は、Mont Fallère小屋へ中腹を横切って続く農道との交差点を示しており、ハイカー、スノーシューハイカー、スキーツアー客にとって自然な交差点となっています。樹木はこの地域ではまばらになり、やがて消え、冬には広大な雪原へと変わる草地が広がります。展望は広く開けており、南にはGrivolaとGran Paradisoの頂上が見え、空気が澄んだ日にはモンブランも見ることができます。

Farm road to climb to the Mont Fellere Refuge

A fantastic view, weather permitting: Mont Blanc, Grandes Jorasses, Matterhorn, Punta Rosa. The overview board tells you where each peak is located.

The Fallere with its statues is always beautiful

Nice, even driveway with enough distractions along the way! 🙂

Mount Emilius, m. 3,559 s.l.m., is a mountain of the Graian Alps located in the Aosta Valley. Before 1839, it was known as Pic de dix heures, Pic Chamosser or Pic Chamoisier, later the peak was therefore named in honor of the fourteen-year-old Émilie Argentier who climbed it that year.

From the Federigo camp, follow the green signs and start climbing up along a stony ground, keep to the left at the beginning (north side) and then reach the ridge where the via ferrata starts. The track starts amid some rocks on the left side of the ridge and reaches the top, where there is a protruding rocky turret, linked to the following peak by a spectacular Tibetan bridge. The via ferrata continues along a vertical rock track and reaches Mont Ross de Comboé (3,285 m), located at the western side of Monte Emilius. At the beginning, you will be fascinated by the imposing and dark north side of Monte Emilius, while now you will have the whole of Aosta Valley and its mountains in full view, in the pleasant sunlight: the Gran Paradiso chain and Grivola to the south, Rutor and the whole Mont Blanc massif to the west, Gran Combin and the Alpine ridge of Valpelline to the north and Matterhorn, the Swiss Alps and Monte Rosa to the east. This gorgeous landscape will follow you until you reach the top. The via ferrata continues along the ridge, going from west to east following a long, almost horizontal trail, up to a sign indicating a possible downslope to the right (south side). This downslope follows a trail, which is not always visible, and reaches Lago Gelato (2,955 m), along a comfortable track going down to the Arbolle refuge (normal route of Emilius). Such a downslope represents an alternative for anyone wishing to abandon the via ferrata which reaches Piccolo Monte Emilius (3,342 m) and goes up the rugged and steep ridge, which you can overcome on the right, by following some huge red and compact rocky steps. If you keep to the south side, you reach a gap where the rock is lighter in colour and slightly more friable. You will have to take some careful steps and continue up a rocky slope until you come to the side where the equipped route ends. From there, you will reach the top (3,559 m) in about ten minutes. On the way down, follow the clearly indicated path along the normal route (south ridge) leading to Colle dei tre Cappuccini (3,222 m), where you need to be careful along a short exposed track. Follow the signs and keep to the right, going down the Arbolle deep valley, past Lago Gelato, up to the Arbolle refuge and, from there, you will reach the arrival station of the Chamolé chair-lift, after walking up the small Col Chamolé (2,641 m) along a comfortable path.
