The Pointe Allobrogia is a mountain of the Mont Blanc massif, overlooking the Col Ferret on the border between Italy and Switzerland. It lies at the southern end of the range south-east of Mont Dolent.
Name
The toponym is related to the name of the Allobroges. This may be the remnant of an ancient territorial claim made by the Gallic tribe.{{sfn|Pelletier|1982|pp=55–56}}
