Pointe Percée, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Pointe Percée reaches an elevation of 2,750 meters and features sedimentary rock formations that create distinct geological patterns across its surface.

The mountain has served as a crucial navigation point for local inhabitants since the medieval period, guiding travelers through the French Alps region.

The surrounding communities of Sallanches, Le Grand-Bornand, and Le Reposoir maintain traditional Alpine practices, including seasonal festivals near the mountain base.

Multiple climbing routes to the summit require technical equipment and experienced guidance, particularly during the snow-free months from June to September.

The mountain contains a natural stone arch formation near its peak, created through centuries of erosion in the sedimentary rock structure.
