Punta Rossa della Grivola, Mountain summit in Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy
The Punta Rossa della Grivola rises to 3,630 meters above sea level within the Gran Paradiso Massif, featuring northern glacial slopes and southern eroded rock faces.
H. and F. Montgomery, along with S. Taylor and J. Tannler, completed the first recorded ascent of Punta Rossa della Grivola in 1864.
The mountain forms part of a distinct three-peak formation with Punta Nera and Punta Bianca, representing the geographical heritage of the Aosta Valley region.
Climbers need specialized equipment including ice axes and crampons to reach the summit, with access routes starting from the town of Cogne or the hamlet of Cretaz.
The mountain stands at the convergence of three valleys: Trajo and Lauson in the Cogne Valley, and Leviona in Valsavarenche, offering views of surrounding Alpine ranges.
