Pointe du Fréjus, Mountain summit in Cottian Alps, France-Italy border.

Pointe du Fréjus is a mountain summit in the Cottian Alps at 2936 meters elevation that marks the border between Modane, France and Bardonecchia, Italy. The peak features distinct slopes on each side with alpine meadows and rocky terrain characteristic of high mountain areas.

Pointe du Fréjus is crossed underground by two tunnels linking Modane and Bardonecchia: the Fréjus rail tunnel, completed in 1871, and the Fréjus road tunnel, opened in 1980. The mountain lies in the Scolette chain, west of the Mont-Cenis massif, between the Susa valley and Haute-Maurienne.

The summit carries two names reflecting its border location: Pointe du Fréjus on the French side and Monte Frejus on the Italian side. Visitors experience this dual identity through the different routes and landscapes that characterize each approach.

The usual route starts at the Col du Fréjus, a 2,539-metre pass linking Modane in France with Bardonecchia in Italy; from the pass the summit is reached by the south-west ridge. Plan for a full day on foot with equipment suited to high ground, and check conditions before setting out.

The Fréjus railway tunnel, completed in 1871, and the Fréjus road tunnel, opened in 1980, both pass through the rock beneath the mountain, more than a century apart. The summit itself lies on the watershed between the Maurienne at Modane and the upper Susa valley at Bardonecchia.
