Rocciamelone, Mountain summit in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy
The Rocciamelone rises to 3,538 meters above sea level, marking a natural border between Italy and France in the Graian Alps section.
The mountain holds the first documented ascent in Alpine history, completed by Bonifacius Rotarius on September 1, 1358 after his return from captivity.
A three-meter-high statue of the Virgin Mary stands at the summit since 1899, making it a destination for religious pilgrims every August 5th.
Climbers can access three mountain shelters along the route: Rifugio Ca d'Asti at 2,854 meters, Rifugio Tazzetti at 2,642 meters, and Rifugio Santa Maria.
The Glacier de Rochemelon extends one kilometer north of the summit, marking the international boundary between Italian and French territories.
