The video is here: https://youtu.be/Kch0k1xKirE 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 come the other way, and 2/ climbing 1400 m of elevation gain over a short distance (it's steep), to reach the legendary summit of Rocciamelone. Well, it was worth it! And I found two more Edelweiss spots today, so it's my "edelweiss" weekend.
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 a little technical but nothing more, and without any exposed portion. The biggest challenge ultimately is to reach the Riposa car park via the very narrow and winding little road, which does not allow crossings.... but it is well worth it!
