This is my entry for #monomad challenge by monochromes@monochromes

Becca della Traversiere (3337 mt.) is a wonderful mountain located between Italy and France, in Alps (Valgrisenche, Italy - Valley of the Isère, France). It is a classic ski-mountaineering trip.
On the summit the view is wonderful on Goletta Glacier and Granta Parei pyramid (on the left).
In first pic you can see also sky ascent and descent traces, and also the traces of a light aeroplane landed in the middle of the glacier, and then lift off.

Under the summit some rocks:

We walked along a thin ridge of snow and we happily skied down to Benevolo refugee.
