Pointe de la Grande Journée, Mountain summit in Savoie, France.

The Pointe de la Grande Journée reaches an elevation of 2,460 meters within the Beaufortain Massif, offering views across multiple Alpine valleys.

Local shepherds established traditional paths around the mountain during the Middle Ages to transport Beaufort cheese from high pastures to valley markets.

The mountain stands as a symbol of Alpine farming traditions, where herders maintain seasonal grazing practices for dairy production at different elevations.

Multiple hiking routes lead to the summit, with the primary trail starting from La Bâthie covering 8.6 kilometers and ascending 702 meters in elevation.

The mountain features a network of natural springs that maintain consistent water flow throughout the year, supporting the local pastoral activities.
