Pointe de Bella Cha

Pointe de Bella Cha, Mountain summit in the Aravis range, Haute-Savoie, France

Pointe de Bella Cha is a 2,511-metre limestone summit in the Aravis range, in Haute-Savoie. Its highest point is a sharp crest; below it the rock falls away in steep, fractured ridges and gullies, with pale grey and tan stone and patches of rust-coloured scree. The left side of the summit is in shadow, while the right and front faces are lit, and snowy peaks are visible to the right.

The sources record no climbing history for Pointe de Bella Cha. Its name belongs to an older layer of mountain toponyms, which are often Celtic or Indo-European; many Celtic oronyms carry a religious meaning. If Bellacha is Celtic, it combines belo, "strong, powerful", and uxa, "high, on high", giving "the powerful one from above", an expression of the kind used for a god.

The name Bellacha is traced to Celtic roots belo, "strong, powerful", and uxa, "high", giving "the powerful one above" — a phrase of the kind used in religions for a deity. The summit lies in the Aravis range above Le Reposoir and Sallanches, in Haute-Savoie.

Pointe de Bella Cha reaches 2,511 m in the Aravis range, 242 m above the surrounding terrain, with Pointe Percée 1.9 km to the northeast. The summit lies above Le Reposoir and Sallanches in Haute-Savoie. The final slopes are steep and partly scree-covered, so allow time for the climb and turn back if cloud closes in.

The name Bellacha likely comes from Celtic roots belo (strong) and uxa (high), giving "the powerful one above" — a phrase of religious type used for a deity. The summit rises 2,511 m, 242 m above the surrounding terrain, with the Pointe Percée (2,750 m) about 1.9 km to the south-west.
