Étale, Mountain peak in the French Prealps, France

Étale is a mountain peak in the French Prealps located between Manigod and La Giettaz. The summit displays characteristic layered sedimentary rock formations that shape the visual character of this Alpine zone.

This mountain formed during the Alpine mountain-building period millions of years ago, creating the layered rock structures visible today. The geological forces that shaped it continue to influence how this landscape looks.
