Mont Ponset, Mountain summit in Mercantour-Argentera, France.

Mont Ponset is a 2,828-metre summit of the Mercantour-Argentera range, standing entirely in France above Saint-Martin-Vésubie in the Mercantour national park. It lies on a north-south crest between the cime du Gélas and the cime de la Vallette-de-Prals, between the Vésubie and Gordolasque valleys. The peak is made of metamorphic crystalline rock, with steep ribs and gullies, snow patches on the upper slopes and scree below.

The name derives from the Provençal pounchu, "pointed", with the French diminutive -et added. A second hypothesis links it to a shepherd named Pons who kept a hut, the jas Pons, west of the mountain. In 1974 the slopes served as a set for a scene of the television series La Cloche tibétaine.

The mountain territory serves as a natural habitat for Alpine ibex, with approximately 1,100 specimens residing in the surrounding protected areas.

Several hiking routes reach the summit, many starting from Madone de Fenestre and crossing rocky terrain. The western approach requires scrambling experience over stones and is best suited for experienced mountain walkers.

Mont Ponset lies entirely on French soil, in the commune of Saint-Martin-Vésubie, despite sitting on the north-south ridge that runs from the Cime du Gélas toward the Cime de la Vallette-de-Prals. Its single permanent stream, the torrent du Ponset, rises in the cirque between Mont Ponset and Mont Neiglier and flows west into the Vésubie.
