Grand'Hoche, Mountain summit on the France–Italy border in the Cottian Alps

Grand'Hoche is a mountain summit located on the border between France and Italy in the Alpine region. The peak features steep rocky slopes and rugged terrain characteristic of this high-altitude alpine environment.

Grand'Hoche lies on the border line between Italy and France, a boundary fixed in its modern form after the Second World War, when the peace treaty of 1947 adjusted the frontier in the Alps. The summit's Italian side overlooks Beaulard in the Val di Susa, above Oulx and Bardonecchia; the French side overlooks the Clarée valley upstream of Briançon.

The summit sits on the language border of the Alps: the Italian side overlooks the hamlet of Beaulard, between Oulx and Bardonecchia in the Susa Valley, while the French side looks down the Clarée Valley above Briançon. Walkers based at the Guido Rey refuge cross the Colle dell'Orso or the Colle della Mulattiera to reach it.

The summit can be reached via several routes that vary in difficulty depending on the season. Access is most straightforward during warmer months when snow and ice create fewer obstacles to climbing.

The summit marks the border between Italy and France: on the Italian side it overlooks the Beaulard hamlet between Oulx and Bardonecchia in the Susa Valley, while on the French side it rises above the Clarée Valley upstream of Briançon.
