Le Treu, Mountain summit in Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle, France.
Le Treu is a mountain summit in the Val d'Arly Mont Blanc region that rises in the northern French Alps. The terrain features steep slopes, alpine meadows, and rock faces that shape the landscape.
The mountain paths around this summit originated as pastoral routes connecting different alpine meadows. Local farmers used these routes for centuries to move their herds to higher pastures during summer months.
The north face of Le Treu transforms each July when rhododendrons bloom across the slopes, marking a natural event celebrated by local inhabitants.
Access is gained through a marked trail starting from Les Avenières where parking is available nearby. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, as mountain conditions can change quickly.
The trail to the summit passes near cliff edges where Mont-Blanc and the Aravis mountains come into view. These viewpoints reveal a series of peaks arranged across the horizon.
