Mont Lachat, Mountain summit in Bornes Massif, France
Mont Lachat is a mountain peak in the Bornes Range, reaching around 2,023 meters (6,637 feet). The summit features limestone formations and offers wide views across the Alpine valleys below.
The mountain was shaped by tectonic forces over millions of years as the limestone bedrock was lifted upward. Subsequent glaciation and erosion have carved the peak into its current form.
The mountain represents a key element in the regional hiking culture, with multiple trails connecting to the Tramway du Mont Blanc mountain train network.
The summit can be reached via marked trails starting from various points in the surrounding valleys. The best time to visit is early summer through early autumn when snow has melted and paths are passable.
The summit offers a prominence of 1,064 meters and ranks 47th among 35,442 summits in France based on this measurement.
