세인트 크리스토프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 산 정상

Cima Testa Nera는 Pila 위에 위치한 아오스타 계곡의 봉우리입니다. 정상에서는 계곡 전체와 아오스타 계곡의 가장 중요한 산악 그룹을 볼 수 있습니다. 날씨가 좋으면 몽블랑, 몬테로사 산괴, 그리볼라, 마테호른을 볼 수 있으며, 훨씬 가까이에는 이 지역에서 가장 높은 봉우리인 에밀리우스를 볼 수 있습니다. 단 하나의 등반 루트만 있는 것이 아니라, 제가 갔던 샤몰레 호수에서 출발하는 루트는 상당히 가파르고 불안정한 지형입니다. 길은 어떤 곳에서는 손을 사용해야 하지만 항상 노출이 심하지는 않습니다.

Very panoramic hill, reachable only with bike on your shoulder

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

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.

When you reach the Col Replan viewing point at an altitude of 2,458 m, you have a fantastic view of, among other things, numerous 4,000-meter peaks on the horizon. A wonderful place to take a break. The lookout point is built in a circular shape and the low masonry is covered with ceramic orientation boards, which can be used to assign the names of all the mountains in the area. This also applies to the most famous 4000m peaks, such as Mont Blanc (4807 m) and Monte Rosa (4637 m).

Vetta M. Emilius from the normal route. Well-marked path, sometimes exposed, but not dangerous.
