Rocca Rossa, Mountain summit in the Cottian Alps, Italy.

Rising to 2,397 meters above sea level, Rocca Rossa presents steep slopes and exposed rock formations along the French-Italian border in the Cottian Alps.

The Cottian Alps, including Rocca Rossa, served as natural barriers between French and Italian territories, influencing regional development throughout Alpine history.

Local mountaineering traditions have developed specific climbing techniques adapted to the distinct geological characteristics of Rocca Rossa's terrain.

Climbers can reach the summit via marked trails from Rifugio Balma, located 1,933 meters above sea level, requiring proper alpine equipment and navigation skills.

The mountain exhibits a 63-meter prominence and stands 1.4 kilometers from its nearest higher neighbor, Monte Pian Real, at 2,619 meters elevation.
