Sommet de la Saulire, Alpine summit in Savoie, France
The Sommet de la Saulire is an alpine peak within the Vanoise range, positioned between Courchevel and Meribel ski areas. A restaurant sits at the summit, operating during the winter and warmer months for visitors accessing the mountain.
The peak became known through its development as part of the Trois Vallees ski network, linking Courchevel and Meribel. This connection reshaped how skiers accessed and explored the broader region.
The summit restaurant serves regional dishes that reflect the character of the mountain area. Visitors find a place where alpine dining culture blends with the rhythm of the ski season.
Access is restricted from October to May due to snow and ice, so visitors should plan visits during other seasons. Unpaved roads demand careful driving, particularly when conditions are wet or wintry.
The peak stands out for its position between two major ski areas, where visitors can see both Courchevel and Meribel from here. This location makes it a remarkable viewpoint for understanding the layout of the Trois Vallees region.
