Pointe de Tierce

Pointe de Tierce, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Pointe de Tierce is a mountain summit in the Graian Alps near Bessans in the Savoie region, reaching an elevation of 2,973 meters (9,754 feet). The peak has a distinctive shape and stands within an Alpine range featuring several neighboring summits.

The mountain formed part of the Graian Alps through tectonic activity spanning millions of years in geological history. This Alpine range developed through complex processes that shaped the entire region and continues to stand as evidence of these ancient geological events.

Climbers and hikers regularly visit this summit as part of their Alpine expeditions, making it a familiar destination within the local mountaineering community. The peak plays a role in the region's tradition of mountain exploration and attracts both experienced and aspiring mountaineers.

The summit is best reached during summer months when weather provides stable conditions for safer climbing attempts. Proper equipment and mountaineering experience are necessary since the routes to reach it can be challenging.

The summit sits near several taller peaks, making it an interesting starting point for multi-summit climbs in the region. Visitors often tackle it as part of a longer mountain traverse through the Alps.
