Mount Debat (French: [dəba]; Italian: Monte Debat, French: Mont Debat) is a 2,622 m (8,602 ft) tall mountain of the Graian Alps in northern Italy. Its summit lies on the boundary between the municipalities of Donnas and Pontboset in the Aosta Valley, and Traversella in Piedmont, Italy.

Description

[edit]

Mount Debat rises along the watershed that separates the Chiusella Valley in Piedmont from the Champorcher Valley and the Fer Valley, both located in the Aosta Valley region. It is one of the main summits of the ridge that extends northeastward to Monte dei Corni (2,778 m (9,114 ft)). From the summit, two secondary ridges branch off, descending respectively toward Mount Vailet (2,613 m (8,573 ft)) and Mount Brignon (2,360 m (7,740 ft)).[2][3]

The summit offers extensive views over the lower Aosta Valley, Monte Rosa, and the mountains of the Chiusella Valley.
