Grand Pic de Belledonne, Alpine summit in Allemond and Sainte-Agnès, France.

The Grand Pic de Belledonne reaches an elevation of 2977 meters and stands as the highest point in the Belledonne massif within the Dauphiné Alps.

On August 16, 1859, four mountaineers completed the first documented ascent through the Eau d'Olle valley and Lac de Belledonne to reach the summit.

The mountain represents a significant milestone in French Alpine climbing history, marked by the construction of a mountain refuge in 1875.

Climbing requires proper equipment including two ice axes, crampons, and helmets, with careful attention to weather conditions and avalanche warnings throughout the year.

The vertical drop of 1730 meters from base to summit includes slopes reaching 50 degrees, presenting technical challenges for experienced mountaineers.
