Dôme de la Cochette, Mountain summit in Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves, France.

The Dôme de la Cochette reaches an elevation of 3041 meters in the Grandes Rousses massif, featuring rocky ridges and glaciers on its slopes.

The first mountaineers mapped this section of the French Alps during the 19th century, establishing access routes from the Maurienne valley.

Local shepherds use the pastures below the Dôme during summer months, maintaining traditional Alpine pastoral practices in the region.

The climb requires a full day with an elevation gain of 1150 meters from the Col de la Croix de Fer parking area at 2064 meters.

The peak provides simultaneous views of the Saint-Sorlin glacier, Lake Bramant, and Lake Blanc from a 360-degree observation point.
