Bailletaz's summit

The Pointe de la Bailletaz reaches an elevation of 3071 meters and features a marked trail leading through rocky terrains and alpine meadows.

The mountain path developed over centuries as shepherds moved their flocks between valley pastures and high-altitude grazing grounds in the Alpes grées region.

Local mountaineers maintain traditional cairns along the summit route, marking safe passages through challenging sections of the alpine landscape.

The ascent starts at Les Planets parking area near Le Fornet, covering 9 kilometers with 1071 meters of elevation gain over approximately 6 hours.

A natural viewing platform at the summit provides clear views of Vanoise, Tsanteleina, and Grande Sassière peaks across multiple colored alpine lakes.
