Grande Motte, Mountain summit in Vanoise Massif, France
Grande Motte rises to 3,653 meters above sea level, featuring limestone formations and an ice-capped dome within the French Alps mountain range.
The establishment of Vanoise National Park in 1963 marked the protection of Grande Motte and surrounding areas as France's first national conservation zone.
Local mountaineers maintain traditional climbing routes across Grande Motte's slopes, passing their knowledge through generations of alpine guides and enthusiasts.
Visitors can reach the summit via cable car from Tignes Val Claret, which operates daily and ascends to an elevation of 3,453 meters.
The mountain spans both developed ski infrastructure on its northeast face and untouched wilderness within Vanoise National Park on its remaining sides.
