Pointe de Ronce, Mountain summit in Savoie, France.
Pointe de Ronce is a mountain summit in the Graian Alps located between the Maurienne and Val di Susa valleys. The peak sits at the watershed divide and commands views across two major Alpine valleys.
The peak was first summited in 1784 by mountaineers, marking an early milestone in Alpine climbing history. This ascent helped establish the region as an important destination for those pursuing high mountain experiences.
The mountain features Plan des Fontainettes, where a pyramid-shaped church stands as a testament to the religious heritage of the Alpine region.
The climb requires alpine gear including ice axes and crampons, particularly for navigating glaciated terrain on the northern slopes. Summer months offer better conditions, though weather can change quickly in the high mountains.
The summit lies along a high ridge system that connects to other major peaks in the range. This ridge corridor allows experienced climbers to link together multiple summits as part of an extended traverse.
