Pointe de Sales, Mountain summit in Haut Giffre, France.
The Pointe de Sales rises to 2391 meters in elevation, featuring limestone formations and rocky terrain along multiple hiking paths from Sales refuge.
The establishment of the Sales refuge in 1981 by Roland and Elisabeth Mogenier marked a turning point for accessibility to the Pointe de Sales peak.
The mountain serves as a central point for alpine activities, where hikers and nature observers gather to experience the regional mountain traditions.
A medium-difficulty hiking circuit to reach the summit spans 2.9 kilometers with a 627-meter elevation gain, requiring approximately three and half hours.
The summit position offers direct views of two distinct waterfalls: the Cascade de la Pleureuse and Cascade de la Sauffaz in the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval reserve.
