Signal du Génie, Mountain summit in Saint-Julien-Mont-Denis, France
The Signal du Genie reaches an elevation of 2525 meters above sea level in the French Alps, offering views of surrounding mountain ranges.
The summit served as a strategic observation post during military campaigns in the Alps, enabling forces to monitor movements across multiple valleys.
Local mountaineers gather annually at Signal du Genie to commemorate the first documented ascent and share experiences of Alpine climbing traditions.
The ascent to Signal du Genie requires technical climbing equipment and experienced guidance, with access from the Saint-Julien-Mont-Denis base station.
The summit position between two municipalities, Saint-Julien-Mont-Denis and Saint-Martin-de-la-Porte, creates distinct approach routes from different valleys.
