Grande Rochère, Alpine summit in Aosta Valley, Italy
Grande Rochère rises to an elevation of 3,326 meters, forming the highest point between Col Ferret and Great St Bernard Pass in the Pennine Alps.
The first recorded ascent of Grande Rochère's southwest face was completed by explorers Albert and Casalegno in 1832, marking the beginning of documented climbs.
The mountain's name reflects the regional Franco-Italian heritage of the Aosta Valley, where both French and Italian languages maintain strong cultural presence.
Climbers access the summit through a marked trail from Planaval village, following a technical route rated EEA/F+ that requires standard mountaineering equipment.
Three distinct ridges converge at Grande Rochère's peak, creating a natural formation that extends northeast, northwest, and south-southeast across the alpine landscape.
Elevation above the sea: 3,326 m
