Rocca delle Penne, Mountain summit between Piedmont and Liguria, Italy
Rocca delle Penne rises to 1501 meters in elevation, featuring steep rocky sides and a distinctive pyramid shape in the Ligurian Alps range.
The mountain has long served as a natural boundary between the provinces of Imperia and Cuneo, marking territorial divisions since regional establishments.
Local mountain communities maintain traditional agricultural practices on the lower slopes, where farmers cultivate crops and tend to livestock through generations.
Visitors can access the summit through multiple hiking trails starting from Colle di Caprauna, with the main route following the ridge toward Rocca Tramontina.
The mountain stands at the intersection of the Arroscia and Pennaviare valleys, creating a geographical divide in the Dorsale della Rocca delle Penne ridge.
