Pointe du Mottet

Pointe du Mottet is a mountain summit in the French Alps that stands at approximately 2530 meters. The peak can be reached via several marked hiking trails that wind through alpine meadows and rocky terrain.

The mountain sits in an area that has served for centuries as a passage route for traders and travelers moving between the French Alpine valleys. These historic paths continue to shape how the landscape is understood and explored today.

Local mountaineers maintain traditional climbing techniques while ascending Pointe du Mottet through various seasonal expeditions and guided tours.

The best time to start an ascent is early morning, when weather conditions are most stable and predictable. The trail is clearly marked, but it is wise to bring proper hiking boots and weatherproof gear for the climb.

From the summit, four neighboring peaks come into view: Mont Pourri, Grande Casse, Dent Parrachée, and other peaks of the Vanoise region. This panorama makes each visit to the top a special experience for climbers and nature lovers.
