Pointe d'Ireuse, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France.
Description
Pointe d'Ireuse is a 1890 meter summit in the Chablais Alps with a distinctive dome shape. The slopes are composed of layered sedimentary rock that creates the mountain's visible structure and geological character.
History
The mountain formed over millions of years through geological processes within the Préalpes médianes nappe. It now belongs to the Chablais Geopark, which protects this area for its geological significance.
Culture
The trail passes near traditional Alpine farms where shepherding practices have continued over time. This region shows how communities adapt their daily life to the mountain environment.
Practical
Visitors should wear sturdy hiking boots and bring weather protection, as mountain conditions change quickly. The circular trail is well marked but takes several hours, so plan accordingly with water and snacks.
