Pointe de Chavasse

The Pointe de Chavasse reaches an elevation of 2012 meters and consists primarily of sedimentary rock formations within the French Alps.

The mountain's name originated from a reference to peaks covered with undesired vegetation, similar to the nearby Pointe de la Chavache near Montriond.

The mountain area serves as a natural habitat for marmots and ibexes, which visitors frequently encounter while traversing the alpine meadows.

The ascent from Col de Vésinaz to the summit follows a narrow path with a steeper gradient, requiring approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.

From the peak, visitors observe panoramic views of Marcelly, Haute Pointe, and the Mont Blanc massif across the surrounding Alpine landscape.
