In ancient times, Monviso was considered the highest mountain in the Alps as it dominated its surroundings. This well-proportioned pyramid stands head and shoulders over other mountains, especially from the plain of the Po river in northern Italy. And it doesn't just attract Alpine climbers; the source of the Po is legendary throughout northern Italy and the Piedmont area has a unique culture. Climbing Monviso is therefore a journey of discovery in a very special mountain landscape.
