Pointe de Chésery, Alpine summit in Valais and Haute-Savoie, France and Switzerland.

The Pointe de Chésery rises to 2249 meters in elevation, composed of sedimentary rock formations along the French-Swiss border in the Alps.

The mountain belongs to the Brèche nappe, a significant geological structure that demonstrates the tectonic movements that shaped the Alps millions of years ago.

The surrounding villages of Châtel and Abondance maintain Alpine traditions through their cheese production and traditional pastoral activities.

The trail from Les Lindarets requires approximately two hours of ascending over 760 meters of elevation gain, with marked paths leading to the summit.

The mountain provides simultaneous views of two countries, marking the exact border between France and Switzerland within the Chablais Geopark.
