Pointe de la Masse, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
The Pointe de la Masse reaches an elevation of 2,804 meters and consists primarily of crystalline schist formations within the Massif de la Vanoise mountain range.
The mountain has served as a reference point for local shepherds who guided their flocks through the valleys of Savoie since the medieval period.
Pointe de la Masse contains educational panels along its hiking trails that explain the regional Alpine flora, fauna, and geological formations to visitors.
Hikers can access the summit through a 12.4-kilometer trail starting from the Refuge du Lou parking area, with water sources available at multiple points.
