Pointe de Ronce, Mountain summit in Savoie, France.
Standing at 3612 meters, Punta Roncia rises between Val di Susa and Maurienne valleys, marking the physical watershed in the Graian Alps range.
The first mountaineers to reach Punta Roncia's summit were Robert de Lamanon and Bouvier, who completed their ascent on July 15, 1784.
The mountain features Plan des Fontainettes, where a pyramid-shaped church stands as a testament to the religious heritage of the Alpine region.
Climbers need ice axes and crampons to navigate the two glaciers on the northern slopes, Arcelle Neuve and Vieux, during the summer season.
The ridge connecting Punta Roncia to Pointe du Lamet extends for 40 kilometers, reaching eastward toward Monte Musine near Turin.
