Pointe du Chardonnet, Mountain summit in Tignes, France.
The Pointe du Chardonnet rises between the Peisey-Nancroix valley and Tignes resort, featuring natural landscapes alongside developed skiing infrastructure.
The mountain stands within the Vanoise massif, established as France's first National Park in 1963, marking a significant shift in alpine conservation.
Local shepherds maintain traditional pastoral practices around Pointe du Chardonnet, continuing centuries-old methods of alpine farming during summer months.
Hikers can access the 8.1-mile loop trail starting from Maison de Tignes, following marked paths that lead through varied terrain and elevation changes.
The mountain presents two contrasting sides: one face contains resort facilities while the opposite slope remains completely natural within the national park boundaries.
