Punta Nera, Mountain summit in Cottian Alps, France and Italy.

Punta Nera reaches an elevation of 3,047 meters with two distinct peaks connected by a saddle at 3,017 meters in the Cottian Alps range.

The mountain's name translates to Black Summit, referencing the dark schist rocks that form the slopes facing the Susa Valley in Italy.

The eastern subsummit at 3,041 meters features a metallic cross that stands as a symbol for mountaineers ascending from Bardonecchia.

Access routes start from Grange della Rho near Bardonecchia on the Italian side and from Valfréjus in Modane on the French side.

The mountain marks the highest point of the Dora-Arc water divide between Colle della Rho and Col du Fréjus at 2,541 meters.
