Pointe de Bella Cha

Pointe de Bella Cha reaches an elevation of 2511 meters within the Bornes-Aravis range, offering views across surrounding peaks and valleys of the French Alps.

The summit has been a destination for mountaineering expeditions since the 19th century, when alpinists first documented routes through the Bornes-Aravis range.

The mountain region preserves traditional Alpine practices, with local shepherds maintaining seasonal grazing patterns in the surrounding meadows throughout summer months.

The challenging ascent requires a 1014-meter elevation gain over a 5-hour hike, starting from the parking area near Les Plans farm inn.

The final approach involves navigating unmarked paths across steep grassy slopes and inclined stone ledges, leading to the exposed summit position.
