Guglia Rossa, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes department, France
Description
Guglia Rossa is a mountain summit in the Hautes-Alpes reaching 2,545 meters (8,350 feet) above sea level. Its northern slopes offer a gentler climb, while the southern face drops away sharply with dramatic rock walls.
History
The mountain marked the border between France and Italy until 1947, when the Paris Peace Treaties redrew territorial boundaries. After this shift, it remained entirely within French territory.
Culture
Local mountaineering groups maintain climbing routes and paths, documenting various technical approaches to reach the summit throughout different seasons.
Practical
The main approach to the summit starts from Col de l'Échelle and follows marked trails across varied mountain terrain. This route is most passable during summer months when snow clears from the paths.
Did you know?
The rock layers display a distinctive red coloration that inspired both the French and Italian names of this peak. This reddish hue remains visible from considerable distances across the valley.
