Le Gros Crey, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
Le Gros Crey reaches an elevation of 2,594 meters and stands between the municipalities of Orelle and Valmeinier in the Massif des Cerces mountain range.
The name Gros-Crey derives from the Late Latin word 'crestum', marking the geographical evolution of linguistic terms in the French Alpine regions.
The mountain forms part of the Galibier-Thabor ski resort, contributing to the winter sports heritage of the Maurienne region in the French Alps.
Hikers can access the summit through a 2.6-kilometer trail starting from the Jeux chairlift, following marked paths with yellow signs over gravel terrain.
The geological composition includes micaceous arkose, conglomerates, sandstone, shale, and anthracite coal deposits from the Westphalian to Lower Stephanian periods.
