Pointe du Charbonnier, Alpine summit in Vanoise massif, Savoie, France.

Pointe du Charbonnier is a summit in the Vanoise massif of the French Tarentaise valley, reaching 3,261 metres. Its northern flank is covered by the Leisse glacier, while the Charbonnier glacier, now gone, once covered the western flank. The higher Pointe de la Sana, at 3,436 metres, stands nearby. The summit is reached from the Leisse refuge to the north-west or the Femma refuge to the south-east.

Pointe du Charbonnier lies in the Vanoise massif above the Tarentaise valley, close to the higher Pointe de la Sana at 3,436 metres. It is reached from the Refuge de la Leisse to the north-west or the Refuge de la Femma to the south-east. The glacier du Charbonnier on its western flank has now disappeared, while the glacier de la Leisse still covers the northern side.

The peak's name comes from the charcoal burners, charbonniers, who once worked the Tarentaise valleys below. Today the two usual approaches start from the Leisse refuge to the north-west and the Femma refuge to the south-east, both on the Vanoise walking routes.

Summer months offer the best climbing conditions when snow coverage is minimal and routes are most accessible to climbers. Start early in the day and monitor weather changes closely, as conditions in the high Alps shift rapidly and unpredictably.

The Charbonnier glacier on the western flank has disappeared, while the Leisse glacier still covers the northern side. The peak rises to 3,261 m, 1.6 km west of the higher Pointe de la Sana at 3,436 m. The summit is reached from the Leisse refuge to the northwest or the Femma refuge to the southeast.
