Pointe Helbronner, Mountain summit at France-Italy border, Mont Blanc massif.

Pointe Helbronner reaches 3462 meters in elevation and features a platform offering views across the Aosta Valley and Piedmont regions.

The mountain received its name from Paul Helbronner, a French scientist who created detailed maps of the French Alps during the early 1900s.

The summit station marks the meeting point between French and Italian territories, representing a focal point in ongoing border discussions between both nations.

Visitors can reach the summit through the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car from La Palud or connect to Aiguille du Midi via the Panoramic Mont Blanc gondola.

The granite peak serves as a geodetic reference point and provides access to multiple skiing routes via the Glacier du Géant toward Montenvers.
