Just above the parking

Highlight • Parking

You can park the car just below the refuge de la Riposa. Beware that the road has s really narrow for about 22km (make the crossing with an other car a difficult exercice) and ends even as a gravel road - but manageable with a normal car. It is a very popular spot so better to start early.

La Riposa Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It is located in La Riposa di Mompantero and is served by a dirt road. From here, a trail leads to the Ca d'Asti refuge and then to Rocciamelone.

Rocciamelone Summit

Highlight • Summit

Nice walk, on the verge of mountaineering because of the fixed ropes that you can also not use. The path is slightly exposed in the final stretch you have to be careful not to drop the stones. Starting early in the morning you avoid the clouds that normally form in the afternoon on the summit. Since it is the highest peak in the vicinity of Turin, it is very popular. Walking sticks and hiking boots are enough to tackle this climb.

Section with Fixed Ropes

Highlight • Climb

The fixed ropes in the last very steep section are very useful, helping to reach the summit of Rocciamelone more easily

The video is here:
With such high temperatures forecast for Sunday, I decided to do the highest hike in the region to "find some fresh air," even if it meant: 1/ taking a 15 km winding road, then an equally winding 5 km track, both narrow, just the width of the car, the fear being that a car would …

The first 3500!
Departure from Riposa.
Easy hike to the Ca D'Asti refuge.
It gets complicated all the way to the top.
The view over the whole valley of Susa, Moncenisio and Malciaiussia is spectacular.

Unforgettable day with the ascent of Rocciamelone (3538 m altitude) with ideal weather: cool but clear and bright. This hike is fabulous, from the first meters the views are available to us, and the arrival at the summit from where we discover the north face and the glaciers and lakes below is unforgettable. The path is on the second part …
