Pointe des Arlicots, Mountain summit in Bauges range, France

Pointe des Arlicots reaches an elevation of 2060 meters and features exposed limestone escarpments visible from the Isère Valley.

Local farmers used mountain paths near Pointe des Arlicots to reach high-altitude meadows for harvesting until the early 1900s.

The mountain area combines natural formations with traditional Alpine farming practices, marked by old shepherd shelters at different elevations.

The ascent requires technical climbing skills and careful navigation, particularly along the ridge traverse connecting Pointe des Arces to the summit.

The Vallon de la Lanche route to Pointe des Arlicots was previously restricted but now provides an alternative access through a former exclusion zone.
