The Picco Luigi Amedeo (French Pointe Louis Amédée ) is a 4469 m slm high mountain peak in the Mont Blanc massif and politically belongs to the Aosta Valley in Italy . The summit is named after Ludwig Amadeus of Savoy (Italian: Luigi Amedeo di Savoia-Aosta ).
It is the highest peak in Italy that stands entirely on Italian soil. The closest higher peak is Monte Bianco di Courmayeur . The dominance is 0.73 km, the notch height 39 m.
The Picco Luigi Amedeo is reached when crossing the Brouillard ridge, one of the great ridges of Mont Blanc. It was first reached on July 18-20 , 1901 by GB and GF Gugliermina with the leader Joseph Brocherel from the northwest. The first crossing of the entire Brouillard ridge and thus also the Picco Luigi Amedeo took place on August 9, 1911 by Karl Blodig , Humphrey Owen Jones, Geoffrey Winthrop Young with the guide Josef Knubel . With this tour, Blodig completed his ascent of all four thousand meter peaks in the list he had set.
The Picco Luigi Amedeo was an insignificant ridge point in the Brouillard ridge before it became a household name for larger mountaineering circles in 1959 thanks to a difficult Walter Bonatti route on the Red Pillar, the left of the three large Brouillard pillar.
