Picco Charbonnel, Mountain summit in French Alps, France

The summit has been a reference point for Alpine mountaineering expeditions since the early development of mountain climbing in the French Alps.

The peak represents a connection between French and Italian Alpine traditions, reflecting the cross-border nature of mountaineering in this region.
