Pointe de Balafrasse, Mountain summit in Mont-Saxonnex, France.
The Pointe de Balafrasse reaches an elevation of 2296 meters within the Bornes-Aravis mountain range, featuring steep slopes and multiple climbing routes.
The mountain paths were established by early alpinists, with Francis Maxit opening the Vaïana route on March 24, 2018, adding new possibilities for climbers.
Local mountaineers regularly gather at this peak to practice traditional alpine climbing techniques through various seasonal conditions and technical challenges.
Access starts from Morsulaz at 1210 meters elevation, with parking available near the Bronze river bridge, approximately 500 meters from the ski lift.
The north face presents slopes between 45 and 50 degrees over 450 meters, creating demanding conditions for winter sports enthusiasts.
