Pointe de Boveire

Pointe de Boveire is a mountain summit in the Entremont District marked by steep rock faces and layered stone formations. The slopes show clear signs of glacial activity and weathering over geological time.

Mountaineers first documented ascents of this peak in the middle of the 1800s. Over decades, climbers established different technical routes to reach the summit.

The mountain serves as a central point for the annual Fête de la Montagne festival, where local communities gather to celebrate Swiss alpine traditions.

Several trails approach the mountain from different starting points, though all routes require climbing experience and proper gear. Weather conditions at this elevation shift rapidly, so checking forecasts beforehand is essential.

On clear days, the summit offers views into several neighboring countries simultaneously. This perspective highlights how centrally positioned the peak is within the regional alpine geology.
