Mont Gelé

Mont Gelé rises to an elevation of 3,023 meters in the Pennine Alps, marking a tripoint between the municipalities of Bagnes, Riddes, and Nendaz.

The mountain's name derives from its glacial characteristics, reflecting the permanent ice formations that have shaped its geology through centuries of alpine development.

The mountain functions as a natural boundary marker between different Swiss communities, representing the traditional alpine practice of using peaks as territorial demarcation points.

An aerial cable car from Verbier or Siviez provides access to the summit at 3,002 meters, offering transportation for both winter sports enthusiasts and summer visitors.

Two distinct off-piste ski slopes descend from Mont Gelé, enabling experienced skiers to navigate through untouched snow terrain in natural alpine conditions.
