Pointe de la Louïe Blanche, Mountain summit in Montvalezan, France.

Pointe de la Louïe Blanche is a mountain summit in the Graian Alps that rises to approximately 2,939 meters and marks the natural border between France and Italy. The peak can be approached from routes on both sides, each offering different geological features and terrain.

The summit lies on the Franco-Italian border between Savoie and the Aosta Valley, and it is the highest point of the French commune of Montvalezan. The border line follows the ridge here, so the same mountain belongs to two communes and two states. Its Italian name, Monte Fréduaz Centrale, is still used on the Aosta Valley side.
