Pic de l'Huile, Mountain summit in Savoie Propre, France.

Located at an elevation of 926 meters, Pic de l'Huile stands at the edge of the Huile plateau within the Belledonne mountain range.

During the 12th century, a castle measuring 100 meters long and 20 meters wide was constructed on the promontory to monitor the route to Grand Cucheron pass.

The name Huile derives from Savoyard dialect words Ullie or Huille, translating to needle, leading to its alternative name Mountain of the Needle.

Visitors can access the summit via road from La Table's main town, connected through departmental road 207 linking La Rochette to Col du Grand Cucheron.

The geological formation consists of limestone and marl dating from the Aalenian and Bajocian periods, classified as a perched syncline structure.
