Rocca Blancia, Summit and mountain peak in Piedmont, Italy and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Rocca Blancia rises to 3,193 meters, marking the border between Italy and France with its limestone formations and sandstone composition at the summit.
The mountain served as a natural boundary between Italian and French territories, with shepherds navigating its slopes for centuries across different valleys.
The name variations of Rocca Blancia, Rocca Blanca, and Roche Blanche reflect the linguistic diversity of the French-Italian border region.
Climbers can access the summit through the western slope from Meyronnes, following marked trails past the lower lake toward the mountain slopes.
The mountain displays a distinct geological feature with a horizontal fault plane on its southwestern flank, combining dolomites and flysch sandstone formations.
