Pointe des Genevois, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland

Pointe des Genevois is a 3,674 m summit of the Swiss Pennine Alps in Valais, set between the Dent de Perroc to the north-west and the Dent de Tsalion to the south. It rises above the Mont Miné glacier to the east and the Arolla valley to the west, just south of the higher Dent de Perroc.

The summit was first climbed on 22 July 1885 by two men from Geneva, who gave it the name Pointe des Genevois. Before then it was counted as one of the Dents de Perroc. It rises to 3,674 m between the Dent de Perroc to the north-west and the Dent de Tsalion to the south, above the Mont Miné glacier and the Val d'Arolla.
