access

1) By car. Take the motorway or state highway to SUSA. Get to the main train station. Turn high behind it and follow the adjacent street towards East until seeing indications to 'Rocciamelone'. Follow the indications until the parking lot 100m down from La Riposa. 2) By walking from Susa. There is a footpath going up all the way from Susa and well marked, but it is still a 1700m vertical distance to walk (so 3-5 hours). However you can walk up in the evening, stay the night in rifuge and fly the day after.
