Ban Rouge, Mountain summit in Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe and Praz-sur-Arly, France.
Ban Rouge is a mountain summit at approximately 1983 meters elevation located where two French villages meet. The peak offers views toward Mont Blanc and sits adjacent to the large Espace Diamant ski network.

The Col de Basse Combe separates it from the Mont de Vorès to the southeast and the Crêt du Midi to the northwest. A chairlift from the Praz-sur-Arly ski resort, part of the Espace Diamant ski area, reaches the summit.
