Tour Sallière

Tour Sallière rises to 3220 meters within the Chablais Massif, featuring sedimentary rock formations and a distinctive pyramid shape above Lake Salanfe.

The mountain's geological composition reflects millions of years of Alpine formation processes, with layers of sedimentary rock pushed upward through tectonic movements.

Local mountaineers maintain several traditional routes to the summit, passing their knowledge through generations while organizing guided expeditions throughout the year.

Climbers can access Tour Sallière through multiple starting points, with the Susanfe Hut offering accommodation from June to October during the main climbing season.

The northern face presents a vertical wall rising 1300 meters straight up from the valley floor, creating one of Switzerland's most pronounced mountain facades.
