Pointe de Miribel, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France.
Description
Pointe de Miribel is a limestone peak in the Chablais Massif rising to 1581 meters (5187 feet) in Haute-Savoie. From the summit, you can see Mont Blanc, the Bornes, and the Jura mountain ranges stretching across the horizon.
History
The peak formed through geological processes that developed the Préalpes medianes nappe over millions of years. These movements shaped the Alpine landscape visible in this region today.
Culture
The mountain area maintains strong connections to Alpine traditions, with local residents practicing seasonal grazing and mountain sports throughout the year.
Practical
The summit is reached via a round trip of about 5 kilometers from Les Granges, following yellow-marked paths through forest and mountain terrain. The route is well-marked and suitable for those with basic hiking experience.
