The Mont Crammont is an imposing mountain above Pré Saint Didier, a small town close to Courmayeur. To walk up to the summit there is only one route, the others are for climbers. The view from the top is magnificent, on the whole Monte Bianco Group; the summit is situated between the La Thuile Valley and the Central Valley, and there are only a few tops in the Aosta Valley, with such a wide view . Once on the top there was a refuge; now only a few stones show were it was.
The Crammont was walked up for the first time from the scientist De Saussure, in the year 1774.
