Crève-Tête, Mountain summit and scenic viewpoint in Saint-Jean-de-Belleville, France

The peak of Crève-Tête reaches an elevation of 2,342 meters and provides panoramic views of Mont-Blanc, Vanoise, and the Lauzière mountain ranges.

The first summit cross was installed in 1935 by Abbé Alphonse Charles, later replaced in 2016 with a galvanized iron structure blessed by Abbé Marcel Perrier.

The mountain features two orientation tables at its summit, marking geographical landmarks and distances, though local hikers note some altitude and spelling inaccuracies.

The complete hiking loop spans 15 kilometers with a 1,000-meter elevation gain, starting from Pierrafort cable car station at 1,380 meters altitude.

The trail passes through the Prariond area at 1,580 meters, where a chalet restaurant serves as an entry point to the Pierrafort mountain pastures.
