The benches people are walking to right now
This page is separate from the Official Bench Score. It follows the last 30 days of community activity — benches ticked off, new Bench Scores, and new clips or photos — so a quiet gem can sit at the top.
Busiest this month

Col Pilaz Big Bench
Chamois, Aosta Valley, Italy
The giant red bench above car-free Chamois faces the Matterhorn one way and the Gran Paradiso massif the other. A rare seat that is itself part of the adventure.
