Pointe du Midi, Mountain summit between Troistorrents, Switzerland and Châtel, France
The Pointe du Midi reaches an elevation of 1850 meters and consists of sedimentary rock formations within the Préalpes médianes nappe structure.
The mountain marks a significant section of the France-Switzerland border, contributing to the establishment of the Chablais Geopark's natural heritage designation.
Local mountain pastures at Pertuis d'en Bas and Pertuis d'en Haut maintain traditional Alpine farming practices with active chalets and livestock.
The Boucle de la Pointe du Midi trail spans 8.6 kilometers from Linga carpark, requiring approximately four hours to complete the full circuit.
The mountain path crosses through zones of voraches, specialized vegetation of wild alder, where chamois and deer frequent the natural corridors.
