Alpengipfel in Piemont

Alpine Peaks & Passes of Piedmont

This collection highlights the dramatic topography of Piedmont, from the 4,061-meter Gran Paradiso to historic trans-alpine passes like Col Agnel and Nivolet. It features several UNESCO World Heritage 'Sacri Monti,' including Varallo and Oropa, which serve as devotional complexes integrated into the mountain landscape. These sites preserve centuries of Baroque and Mannerist art, while high-altitude saddles provide critical links between the Italian and French Alps, offering expansive views and significant geological interest.
