Pointe de Banc Plat, Mountain peak in Bellecombe-en-Bauges, France.
Pointe de Banc Plat is a mountain summit in the Bellecombe-en-Bauges area standing at 1907 meters with wooded slopes that transition through limestone cliffs to alpine meadows. The peak offers varied terrain across its elevation zones.
Pas de la Combe, a passage carved through limestone in 1893, created a direct route linking Lathuile village with the alpine pastures beyond the rock face. This work gave locals faster access to their seasonal grazing lands.
The Chalet de la Combe at 1572 meters preserves the tradition of alpine shelters where hikers rest and eat during their journeys. This refuge remains an important gathering place in the local hiking culture.
The hike starts at the Petit Reposoir parking area at 1085 meters and takes about 5 hours with roughly 900 meters of elevation gain. Sturdy footwear and plenty of water are essential since the route crosses exposed sections and steep terrain.
A rock inscription honors Camille Dunand, who was central to creating the path through the limestone cliffs of the massif. Visitors often miss this memorial stone while making their way up the trail.
