Monte Zerbion from Barmasc

Aosta Valley

From the Barmasc plateau above Antagnod a steady pasture path climbs the long green flank of the Zerbion to a summit statue of the Virgin. The reward is a sweep taking in Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn, the Grand Combin and Mont Blanc, with the Ayas, Gressoney, central and Champorcher valleys all radiating away.
