Very good. By the way, I think that it is better known as the Gran Paradiso in English-speaking countries - it isn't translated. When I lived in Europe I used to visit it often for climbing and ski-mountaineering.

I don't know this
Gran Paradiso is better ? OK

That's how I know the area and the peak (mountain) itself, and how my English-speaking friends know it. It's the same for the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (which I have also climbed) in your other picture - we use the Italian name. Generally we use the local name or names, not an English translation (no matter how big a mess we make of the pronunciation!). By the way, although I have left now because I never get to the Alps any more, I was in the Sezione CAI di Aosta for about 20 years because I climbed mostly in NW Italy, winter and summer.

thank you very much Helen B for explanation
I've always loved the mountains but I went up only on several 4000 by the normal route
