Pointe de Bellecombe, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Pointe de Bellecombe reaches an elevation of 2,775 meters in the northern Cottian Alps, between Col du Petit Mont-Cenis and Col de Bellecombe passes.

The mountain area contains remnants of military fortifications from both the Vallo Alpino defense system and the Maginot Line constructed before World War II.

The mountain stands as a natural boundary marker between French and Italian territories, reflecting the territorial changes established by the 1947 Treaty of Paris.

Hikers can access the summit through a designated T2 trail starting from the refuge du Petit Mont Cenis, located at an elevation of 2,095 meters.

The mountain creates a natural watershed divide between the Dora Riparia flowing to the Po Valley and the Arc River leading to the Rhone Valley.
