Pointe des Mossettes, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland

Pointe des Mossettes rises to 2,277 meters in elevation within the Chablais Alps, forming a natural boundary between the Dranse river basin and Val d'Illiez.

The mountain became an integral part of the Portes du Soleil ski region when multiple French and Swiss resorts joined forces to create an international skiing network.

Local mountaineers established numerous hiking trails connecting the summit to both Swiss and French territories, creating a cross-border recreational destination.

Visitors can access the summit via cable cars operating from Les Crosets resort in Switzerland or Avoriaz in France throughout the winter and summer seasons.

The mountain's sedimentary rock composition reveals geological layers that date back millions of years, documenting the formation of the Chablais Alps.
