Rocca dell'Abisso, Mountain summit in Mercantour National Park, France
The Rocca dell'Abisso peak rises to 2261 meters in elevation, standing as a prominent landmark within the Maritime Alps mountain range.
Following territorial changes after World War II in 1947, this mountain area transferred from Italian to French jurisdiction through a regional plebiscite.
The mountain serves as a meeting point between French and Italian alpine traditions, reflected in its dual naming as Rocca dell'Abisso and Roche de l'Abisse.
Hikers can access the summit via a 14-kilometer trail starting from SP312 in Limonetto, featuring an elevation gain of 1378 meters throughout the journey.
The mountain ranks as the 76th highest peak among 174 summits in the Alpi Marittime Natural Park and 69th among 740 in Mercantour National Park.
