Rodingite outcrops on the right side of River Dora Baltea near the bridge named Ponte delle Capre/Pont des Chèvres.
Note: sometimes, minerals from this area, located in the municipal territory of Châtillon but more easily reachable from Saint-Vincent, are mislabelled as Saint-Vincent. Also carbonates (artinite, hydromagnesite, and aragonite) from the not too far Petit Monde Tunnel (Montjovet) are sometimes mislabelled as Ponte delle Capre.
