Becca della Traversière

Becca della Traversière is a mountain summit on the France-Italy border featuring steep rocky faces and views across multiple Alpine valleys. The peak sits at approximately 3,337 meters and offers clear sight lines over the surrounding alpine landscape.

The summit formed through erosion and glacial activity and has marked an important border point since early Alpine exploration. A summit cross was erected to mark this geographical and navigational milestone.

Mountain guides from both regions use the summit as a meeting point and have known the routes for generations. Their experience shapes how climbers experience and navigate this place today.

Reaching the summit requires advanced climbing techniques, proper equipment, and physical stamina. The Mario Bezzi refuge offers accommodation for multi-day expeditions and shelter along the route.

The northern face displays clear evidence of glacial erosion with distinctive polish patterns and rock formations. These geological features tell the story of how ice shaped the Alpine landscape over millennia.
