Le Grand Chat, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Le Grand Chat reaches an elevation of 1979 meters, making it one of the prominent peaks in the French Alps mountain range in Savoie department.

The mountain area played a strategic role during World War I, when military operations were conducted across the surrounding ridges and valleys.

The name Le Grand Chat represents local geographical features rather than any connection to felines, reflecting traditional regional naming conventions.

The access to the summit requires proper hiking equipment and careful weather monitoring, as conditions can change quickly at higher elevations.

The mountain experiences substantial snow accumulation during winter months, with depths reaching several feet across the upper slopes.

Elevation above the sea: 1,979 m

GPS coordinates: 45.44750,6.21472
