Punta Sea Bianca, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy

Punta Sea Bianca is a mountain summit in the Western Alps reaching 2,721 meters, distinguished by its sharp peak and steep flanks that rise dramatically from the surrounding landscape. The terrain displays rocky upper slopes with alpine vegetation in lower zones, forming a cone-shaped silhouette typical of this alpine region.

The summit lies on the watershed ridge between the Po and Pellice valleys, on the border between Crissolo and Villar Pellice. Its name comes from the white Triassic limestone of the peak and southern crest, which stands out against the surrounding green-stone ophiolitic rocks of Gastaldi's Pietre Verdi complex. The normal route follows the north-east crest from Colle della Gianna, a pass reached from the Pellice side via Rifugio Barbara Lowrie or from the Po valley via Pian Melzè and Pian del Re.

The name Sea Bianca means "white ridge", after the pale limestone of the summit and southern crest, which stands out against the darker greenstones (serpentinites and calcschists) of the surrounding slopes. The mountain lies on the watershed between the Po and Pellice valleys, on the border of Crissolo and Villar Pellice, and the secondary crest toward Punta Raboi separates the Reisassa and Arpetto gullies.

The normal route is rated E and starts from Colle della Gianna, reached from the Pellice valley via Rifugio Barbara Lowrie and the Gianna valley, or from the Po valley from Pian Melzè through the combal del Rio or from Pian del Re over the Sellaccia. A shortcut bypasses the col and climbs straight to the saddle below the summit. In winter the same itineraries are done on skis or snowshoes.
