Mont Brulé, Mountain summit at Italy-Switzerland border, Valais.

Mont Brulé is a 3,538 m summit on the Italy-Switzerland border, rising at the head of the Valpelline on the Italian side and at the end of the Val d'Hérens on the Swiss side. The first ascent was made on 6 August 1882 by Alphonse Chambrelent, André and Édouard Michelin, Pierre Puiseux and Bernard and Marc Wolff. From the Italian side the usual route starts at the Nacamuli refuge at Col Collon, passes Punta Kurz and continues to the top; from Switzerland the approach begins at the Refuge des Bouquetins (2,980 m).

The first recorded ascent took place on 6 August 1882, by Alphonse Chambrelent, André Michelin, Édouard Michelin, Pierre Puiseux, Bernard Wolff and Marc Wolff. The summit, 3,538 m, lies on the border line between Italy and Switzerland, above the Valpelline on the Italian side and at the head of the val d'Herens on the Swiss side.

The name Brulé does not mean "burned" in French, despite appearances: abbé Joseph-Marie Henry traced it to the Francoprovençal breuil, a high mountain lake or marshy shelf in Valdostan patois, so the mountain is one "with many breuils". The summit is also written Brûlé or Braoulé.

A mountain refuge is located roughly 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) north of the summit and provides shelter and provisions for hikers. The ascent requires proper alpine gear and suits experienced mountain walkers.

Abbé Joseph-Marie Henry showed that the name does not come from the French brûlé ("burned") but from the Franco-Provençal breuil, a high mountain lake or marsh plateau, as at Breuil; broillà, the root of Brûlé, means a mountain with many such hollows. The summit stands 3,538 m on the Italian-Swiss border, above Valpelline and val d'Herens.
