Pointe du Frou, Mountain summit and viewpoint in Chartreuse Regional Nature Park, France.
The Pointe du Frou reaches an elevation of 1185 meters and presents views over the Guiers valley through a four-kilometer forest trail.
The summit stands as a geological formation within the Chartreuse mountain range, shaped by Alpine tectonic movements during the Quaternary period.
Local shepherds have maintained traditional grazing practices on the meadows surrounding Pointe du Frou, supporting regional cheese production.
Visitors can access the viewpoint through a marked path from La Ruchère Nordic site, with an elevation gain of 100 meters over the course.
