Punta Grober

Punta Grober is an Alpine summit in the Pennine Alps situated between Valsesia and Anzasca Valley with steep rock faces and glaciated slopes. The rough topography defines the mountain's appearance and makes it a demanding objective for experienced climbers.

The summit gained prominence during the 19th century expansion of Alpine exploration when European mountaineers sought new climbing routes in the region. This period established it as an important destination for adventurers from across Europe.

Local mountain guides from Valsesia and Valle Anzasca preserve traditional climbing techniques passed down through generations of Alpine communities in the region.

Reaching the summit requires technical climbing equipment and substantial experience, with the standard route ascending from Colle delle Locce on the north side. Visitors should expect challenging conditions and allow time for acclimatization and preparation.

The mountain sits at the border between two Italian provinces and provides views of the eastern wall of Monte Rosa, one of the Alps' highest peaks. This location makes it a vantage point from which visitors can see two major Alpine valleys.
