Punta Rognosa, Mountain summit in the Cottian Alps, France

Punta Rognosa reaches an elevation of 2032 meters above sea level, marking the natural border between the Chisone Valley and Susa Valley regions.

The mountain summit entered mountaineering records in 1836 when Captain Cossato accomplished the first documented ascent to its peak at 2032 meters.

The mountain area combines French alpine traditions with Italian influences, reflected in the local architecture and mountain climbing practices of nearby communities.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails starting from Sestriere, with the ascent taking approximately four hours through established mountain paths.

A metal cross and white Madonna statue from 1967 stand at the summit, offering views extending from the French Alps to Turin on clear days.
