Rocca la Meja, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy.
Rocca la Meja is a pyramid-shaped mountain summit in the Cottian Alps that rises to 2,831 meters. Its steep slopes are composed of dolomitic limestone and it sits within the Maira Valley drainage system.
The first documented ascent occurred in 1895 when G. Bobba reached the summit and established a climbing route. This marked the beginning of modern mountaineering activity on this peak in the Southern Cottian Alps.
The mountain holds a central position in the Catena Chambeyron-Mongioia supergroup, marking a natural boundary in the Southern Cottian Alps.
Access is via a technical T5 alpine trail that demands advanced climbing skills and proper safety gear. Visitors should prepare for exposed sections and monitor weather conditions closely during any attempt.
The peak rises above Lake Meja at 2,455 meters, forming a natural amphitheater surrounded by distinctive limestone rock formations. This setting makes it part of the overlooked Meja-Gardetta plateau that appeals to mountain explorers.
