Rosablanche, Mountain summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland
The Rosablanche reaches an elevation of 3336 meters and marks the boundary between the Hérémence valley and the Dix valley in the Valais canton.
In 1915, land surveyors identified significant shifts in the summit's position, leading to investigations that revealed a 21-meter descent since initial measurements in 1891.
The mountain serves as a reference point in Swiss mountaineering traditions, connecting the Grand Désert and Prafleuri glaciers in the Pennine Alps region.
Climbers can access the summit from Prafleuri mountain hut at 2660 meters, following a marked trail across the glacier fields during summer months.
The geological instability of Rosablanche resulted from the Prafleuri Glacier melting, causing the mountain to lose its status as a triangulation point in 1962.
