Rosa dei Banchi

Rosa dei Banchi is an alpine summit in the Graian Alps reaching 3164 meters elevation in the Metropolitan City of Turin. Three distinct ridges run across the mountain, dividing the valleys on either side.

The first recorded ascent to the summit took place in 1831, beginning the climbing tradition on this mountain. Later notable winter expeditions followed, including Scipione Cainer's climb in 1888.

The mountain stands as the principal peak of Champorcher Valley, connecting multiple climbing routes between Aosta Valley and Piedmont regions.

The main climbing route follows the western side and starts from Aosta Valley or alternatively from the south via Campiglia Soana Valley. Both approaches require alpine experience and proper equipment for high mountain conditions.

The northeast side connects to Punta delle Fontane and forms a natural path linking nearby peaks Cime Beccher and Petit Paradis. This ridge system allows experienced climbers to string together longer traverses between summits.
