Punta Calabre

Punta Calabre, Mountain summit in Vanoise National Park, France

Punta Calabre is a 3,445-metre summit on the border between Italy's Valle d'Aosta and France's Rhône-Alpes, in the Grande Sassière and Rutor Alps. Its highest point is a dark, jagged peak of grey and brown bare rock, cut by steep gullies and ridges, with patches of snow and ice on the upper slopes and left flank. Below, grey scree and exposed rock broaden toward the base, and a secondary rocky ridge rises on the left.

Punta Calabre lies on the border between Italy's Valle d'Aosta and France's Rhône-Alpes region, in the Alpi della Grande Sassière e del Rutor range of the Graian Alps. On the Italian side it closes the Val di Rhêmes, though the nearer Granta Parey partly hides it from view. The summit is reached from the Rifugio Gian Federico Benevolo.

The summit marks the border between Italy's Valle d'Aosta and France's Rhône-Alpes region. On the Italian side it closes the Val di Rhêmes, though the nearby Granta Parey partly hides it from below. The name appears in French as Pointe de Calabre, and one source also records Pointe de Bazel.

The summit is reached from the Rifugio Gian Federico Benevolo, the Italian side of the mountain, which closes the Val di Rhêmes. The climb is on high alpine terrain of rock, snow and ice, so glacier and rock equipment and experience are needed. The summit lies on the border between the Valle d'Aosta and the Rhône-Alpes region.

The southeastern face offers rock climbing routes ranging from grade IV to V in difficulty. These technical sections draw experienced alpinists seeking serious climbing challenges in this region.
