Rocca Patanua, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Rocca Patanua reaches an elevation of 2,409 meters and features steep eastern slopes that remain largely snow-free even during winter months.
In 1923, three mountaineers lost their lives on the slopes, leading to the dedication of three towers near Bardonecchia in their memory.
The name Patanua derives from Piedmontese dialect meaning 'naked', referring to the characteristic bare appearance of its eastern face.
The summit access requires following a marked trail from Prarotto Chapel at 1,437 meters, passing through Alpe Formica along the Pissaglio-Gravio ridge.
The mountain contains an official geodetic trigonometric point designated as 055094 by the Italian Military Geographic Institute.
