Pointe d'Andey, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France.

Pointe d'Andey is a ridge-shaped summit in the Bornes Massif standing at approximately 1,880 meters. Its elongated crest provides sweeping views across the surrounding valleys and neighboring peaks from the top.

The summit's double crest of Urgonian limestone, set between Hauterivian and Valanginian strata, forms two cliffs on the north and west sides, linked to a partly overturned anticline whose hinge is cut by the Beffay fault. The summit cliff continues the Rochers de Leschaux northward, while the Andey plateau below the top on the north slope sits on a small anticline. In 1909 the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler depicted the mountain; the work, held by the Musée d'Orsay, was first titled Paysage and later renamed La pointe d'Andey, vallée de l'Arve once the mountain's characteristic shape was identified.

At the summit stands a statue of the Virgin Mary facing east, with a small iron cross at its feet. The mountain also appears in a 1909 painting by the Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, held at the Musée d'Orsay; it was first titled Paysage and later renamed La pointe d'Andey, vallée de l'Arve once the mountain's characteristic shape was identified.

Several hiking routes of varying difficulty lead to the summit, allowing visitors to choose a path suited to their fitness level. Lodging and food options are available in the nearby valleys for those planning a longer stay.
