  Mont Mars Location in the Alps | |
| Location | Piedmont/ Aosta Valley, Italy |
| Parent range | Alpi Biellesi |
Mont Mars ( Italian: Monte Mars or Mont Mars locally; from French) at 2,600 m, is the highest peak of the Biellese Alps, north-western Italy.
It is located on the water divide between the Lys Valley ( Aosta Valley) and the Elvo Valley ( Province of Biella).
In the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) it gives the name to a mountain group called "Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars". [3]
It gives its name to a nearby nature reserve, the Mont Mars Nature Reserve (Italian: Riserva Naturale Mont Mars; French: Réserve naturelle du mont-Mars). [4] [5]
It can be ascended from the south, starting from the Sanctuary of Oropa or, from the North, starting from the Lys Valley. The summit provides a panorama across the plains of the Po Valley and of the Monte Rosa massif.
A classical climbing route reaches the summit following the SSW ridge of the mountain, named Crête de Carisey. [6]
