Rocca Bianca

Rocca Bianca is an Alpine peak with steep rocky slopes situated on the French-Italian border in the Cottian range at about 3064 meters elevation. The mountain presents complex terrain and exposed rock faces that require careful navigation.

The mountain formed through complex geological processes that shaped the high Alpine landscape. Nearby valleys show traces of past mining for copper and coal, activities that influenced the region's economic life.

Mountain refuges nearby keep Alpine traditions alive through local cooking and stories about early climbers that visitors can hear shared in different languages.

The climb demands proper mountain gear like crampons and ice axes, especially during early summer months. Plan to start early and allow enough time for careful movement across exposed rock sections.

Four mountain passes form a natural corridor where ibexes and vultures move through different seasons. This passage connects separate habitats and enables animals to follow seasonal migration routes.
