Pointe de la Gay, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France.
The Pointe de la Gay reaches an elevation of 1801 meters in the Chablais massif, featuring sedimentary rock formations and steep mountain slopes.
The starting point at Lake Vallon emerged naturally in 1943 following a substantial landslide that transformed the local landscape permanently.
The traditional mountain huts at Tré-le-Saix alpage demonstrate the continuous agricultural practices maintained in this French Alpine region.
The hiking trail extends 10 kilometers with a 715-meter elevation gain, requiring 5 hours and 30 minutes from the Lake Vallon parking area.
From the peak, visitors can observe Black Woodpeckers and Hazel Grouse in their natural environment within the Chablais Geopark.
