Pointe de la Rossa

Located at an elevation of 2708 meters, Pointe de la Rossa presents granite formations and steep slopes leading to a pointed peak in the French Alps.

The summit established its importance as a geographical marker for local communities during the early mapping expeditions of the French Alps in the 19th century.

Local mountaineering groups organize annual expeditions to Pointe de la Rossa, maintaining climbing routes and documenting geological changes across different seasons.

Climbers access the summit through marked trails from Bivacco Gratton, requiring proper equipment and weather monitoring due to frequent afternoon storms.

The peak provides direct views of golden eagles nesting spots, while chamois and marmots frequent the surrounding Alpine meadows throughout summer months.
