Mont fleuri

Mont Fleuri is a summit in the Aravis Range located in Haute-Savoie at 2,511 meters elevation. From the top, the panoramic view extends across the surrounding Alps, including Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc in the distance.

Shepherd routes crossed these slopes for centuries as flocks moved seasonally between different pasture lands. These paths connected alpine communities and shaped how people used the mountain landscape.

Mountain huts in the vicinity maintain cheese-making practices passed down through generations using time-honored techniques. These crafts remain central to how locals connect with the alpine landscape.

The main trail departs from La Chapelle d'Abondance following the GR5 long-distance hiking route up to the summit. Conditions are best between early summer and fall when higher elevations are generally snow-free.

The summit features orientation tables that help visitors identify the surrounding mountain ranges and lakes across all directions. These markers make the vast alpine landscape easier to understand and more memorable during the visit.
