Punta dell'Alp, Mountain summit at France-Italy border, Hautes-Alpes and Piedmont.
Located in the Escreins massif, Punta dell'Alp rises to 3031 meters, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations along its northern and southern ridges.
The mountain marks a significant section of the France-Italy border, which was established through international treaties following territorial negotiations in the Alpine region.
Local mountain guides from both French and Italian sides maintain traditional climbing routes, passing their knowledge of the peak to new generations.
Climbers can access the summit from Saint-Véran in France or Chianale in Italy, with the Agnel mountain refuge providing shelter at 2580 meters elevation.
The summit offers concurrent views of the Queyras Regional Nature Park in France and the Po Valley in Italy from its precisely positioned border location.
