Mont Coin, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Mont Coin is a 2,539-metre summit in the Beaufortain massif of Savoie, on the boundary of Beaufort and Aime-la-Plagne. Its highest point sits left of centre on a jagged grey rock ridge broken by grassy notches, with further rock teeth to the right. Below the crest, broad grass slopes fall away, cut by dark gullies and grey outcrops.

The mountain served as summer grazing grounds for shepherds and their herds for centuries, showing the region's long connection to Alpine pastoralism. This tradition shaped the Beaufortain landscape through generations.

The Beaufortain region surrounding this peak has long been shaped by Beaufort cheese production, made on high pastures using traditional methods that remain part of local life. Visitors can experience this cheese-making tradition in the valley farms below.

Mont Coin lies in the Beaufortain massif above Beaufort and Aime-la-Plagne, and hiking trails run through the area. The summit reaches 2,539 metres, so plan for a long climb with mountain gear and check conditions before setting out.

Mont Coin lies on the border between Beaufort and Aime-la-Plagne, and its summit is the highest point of the ridge seen from the Beaufort side. The name 'Coin' comes from a local word for a corner or wedge, referring to the peak's shape when viewed from the valley.
