| Rafa Bartolome | Amazing peak  Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2012 | |
| We really enjoyed a lot with this peak (exception of the narrow road of course). This peak had all that we love in the mountains: nice path in the beginning, a nice place with a refuge for drinking some coca-colas, an interesting rocky access to the summit, a nice panorama, a few of objets to mountaineers in the summit (table of orientation, refuge-vivouac), an spectacullar virgin... this peak is really a jewel in the Alps, a mountain very high without special difficulty in the normal route from Susa's road (no glacier, no rock-climbing). | |

| steste | From la Riposa Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2009 | |
| We arrived at Susa early in the morning and the valley was covered by dark clouds. We started to hike in the fog but, after Refuge Cà d'Asti, a wonderful blue sky welcomed us. Summited in 3,30 hours from the parking under the Refuge la Riposa and basked in the sun for nearly 2 hours on the summit. Once back to La Riposa we got some tea and slices of different cakes ( apple pie, strudel, chocolate cake...). If you are around I suggest you to pay a visit there. The lady who manages the refuge is very nice and, obviously, a great cook. | |

| bruno baschung | Route Climbed: normal italian route Date Climbed: 15th august 2005 | |
| my second climb to this beautiful and "special" mountain! Who knows , that - Roccialmelone's summit was climbed as earfy as 1357? - On its top there's the highest church in Europe, - a mess is regularly celebrated there (5th of august, - but also usually on sundays in summer and august 15th) - the summit has already been reached in...2h15 from Susa (according to italian sources) Definetly an easy walk to get up to it, as a warm up, an acclimatizing climb, a place to bring beginners, just for training or... for religious purposes!!! Everyone will be pleased ther with this italian touch! Also pleasant avoiding the crowded summer period. Bruno BASCHUNG | |
