Pointe de Gargan, Mountain summit in La Plagne Tarentaise, France.
The Pointe de Gargan reaches an elevation of 2,767 meters in the Beaufortain massif, providing views of Lake Presset and the Pierra Menta peak.
The summit was the site of a military climbing accident in June 2021 involving two legionnaires from the 2nd Foreign Engineer Regiment.
