Punta Calabre, Mountain summit in Vanoise National Park, France
The Punta Calabre peak rises to 3464 meters above sea level, marking a natural border between France and Italy in the Ruitor Massif.
The first documented ascent of Punta Calabre occurred in August 1881 when Ettore Troya and his team reached the summit through the east-northeast ridge.
The mountain stands between two national parks, Vanoise in France and Gran Paradiso in Italy, representing the shared natural heritage of both countries.
Climbers can access the mountain through the Refuge de Prariond mountain hut, located at 3078 meters southeast of the main summit.
The southeastern face of Punta Calabre contains solid rock formations that support climbing routes ranging from grade IV to V difficulty levels.
