Dôme de Chasseforêt, Alpine summit in Vanoise National Park, Savoie, France
The Dôme de Chasseforêt reaches an elevation of 3,586 meters within the granite massif of the Dômes de la Vanoise, between the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys.
The first recorded climbs of Dôme de Chasseforêt occurred in the late 19th century, marking the beginning of alpine tourism development in the Savoie region.
The mountain range maintains traditional pastoral activities where shepherds continue ancient farming practices while adapting their methods to current environmental requirements.
The summit access starts from Les Prioux near Pralognan-la-Vanoise, with the Valette mountain refuge at 2,590 meters serving as a strategic stopping point.
This mountain forms Europe's largest glacial system, creating a sequence of domes including Dôme des Sonnailles, Dôme des Nants, and Dôme de l'Arpont.
