Tour Sallière, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.
Tour Sallière is a 3220-meter summit in the Chablais Massif with a distinctive pyramid shape composed of sedimentary rock layers. The peak rises prominently above Lake Salanfe, creating a recognizable landmark visible from the surrounding valleys.
The mountain formed through tectonic movements that pushed sedimentary rock layers upward over millions of years, creating its present structure. The geological processes that shaped it left behind visible layering in the rock formations that can be seen today.
Local mountaineers maintain several traditional routes to the summit, passing their knowledge through generations while organizing guided expeditions throughout the year.
The climb starts from several access points, with the Susanfe Hut offering lodging during the main season from June through October. Visitors should prepare for challenging weather conditions at this elevation and bring appropriate gear.
The northern face drops 1300 meters vertically from the summit, creating one of Switzerland's most dramatic cliff walls. This steep facade makes the peak visually striking when viewed from the surrounding landscape.
