Pointe des Arlicots, Mountain summit in Bauges range, France
Pointe des Arlicots is a summit in the Bauges range that rises to 2060 meters with exposed limestone cliffs. The bare rock faces are visible from the Isère Valley and shape the landscape of the region.
Local farmers once used mountain paths to reach high meadows for seasonal work in the early 1900s. These routes were part of daily life for those who depended on mountain resources.
The area shows traditional Alpine herding with old shepherd shelters scattered at different elevations. These huts recall when herds moved seasonally to high meadows for grazing.
The ascent requires technical climbing skills and careful navigation, especially along the ridge between Pointe des Arces and the summit. Hikers should be comfortable with difficult terrain and check weather before starting.
The Vallon de la Lanche route now provides access through a former exclusion zone. This newer trail offers visitors an alternative path that fewer people know about.
