Pointe de Platé, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France

Pointe de Platé is a 2,554-metre summit in the Faucigny Prealps, on the border of Passy and Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval in Haute-Savoie. It is made of clayey schists of the Nummulitic flysch, not crystalline schist. The bare rock rises in slabs and steep faces of grey and buff tones, with darker vertical gullies; snow lies in broken patches near the peak and in broader bands on the lower slopes and right ridge.

The massif became part of the Sixt-Passy Natural Reserve to protect local wildlife and plants. This designation later enabled scientific research across the mountainous region.

The summit lies on the boundary between Passy and Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, above the Désert de Platé, a bare limestone pavement south of the peak. The name Vouardaz is also recorded for the summit, though the source marks it as needing a reference. The surrounding slopes belong to the Passy and Sixt-Passy national nature reserves.

The ascent requires climbing gear and physical preparation, especially in winter months. The Platé refuge sits about 1000 meters below the summit and offers a rest point along the route.

The summit offers distant views across the High Alps and sits in a zone where rare alpine plants thrive. The plant variety here regularly attracts researchers and nature enthusiasts.
