Pic Belledonne, Mountain summit in Dauphiné Alps, France.

The Grand Pic de Belledonne reaches 2977 meters in elevation and stands as the main peak of the Belledonne mountain range near Grenoble.

Four mountaineers, including Étienne Favier and Stéphane Chapuis, completed the first recorded ascent of Grand Pic de Belledonne on August 16, 1859.

The mountain range features four major ski resorts, including Chamrousse and Le Collet d'Allevard, which support winter sports activities throughout the season.

Climbers can access the summit through the Jean Collet refuge and Lac Blanc, with the Chalet de Rif Premier offering accommodations 1495 meters east.

The corridor between the Grand Peak and Central Peak bears the name of Auguste Reynier, who pioneered the Freydane glacier route in 1891.

Elevation above the sea: 2,514 m

GPS coordinates: 45.15000,6.00000
