Rocciavrè - Costa Glantin, Roure, Città metropolitana di Torino (Provincia di Torino), Piemonte, Italia


Monte Rocciavrè, with its characteristic bifid top (2778 m), is formed by a large serpentinite mass. Along its western ridge, named Costa Glantin (or Cresta di Glantin) and terminated by Monte Glantin (2290 m), a thick rodingite rim developed at the contact between serpentinite and metagabbro. Garnet of andradite-grossular series is the prevailing silicate, but vesuvianite and titanite are locally abundant.
