Rocca Provenzale, Mountain summit in Val Maira, Piedmont, Italy

The Rocca Provenzale rises to 2451 meters as part of the Castello-Provenzale Group, featuring distinct reddish and grey quartzite rock formations in the Southern Cozie Alps.

The mountain received its name from a local legend involving a parish priest who made a vow to climb the summit after surviving a battle in 1848.

The summit forms part of a natural complex consisting of four towers, including Rocca Castello, Torre Castello, and Punta Figari, stretching 1400 meters from north to south.

Climbers begin their ascent from the village of Chiappera at 1614 meters, where guides and equipment rentals including harnesses, crampons, and ice axes are available.

The southern ridge represents the only readily accessible climbing route among the four towers, offering technical challenges on high-quality quartzite surfaces.

Elevation above the sea: 2,451 m

GPS coordinates: 44.50923,6.92206
