Les Périades, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France
Les Périades forms a sharp ridge extending 1500 meters southward from Col du Tacul to Col du Mont Mallet in the Mont Blanc massif.
The mountain shelter constructed in 1928 near Pointe de Sisyphe at 3455 meters belonged to the French Alpine Club until its collapse in 2019.
The mountain region carries names reflecting French mountaineering history, including Pointe Auguste Cupelin at 3549 meters and Pointe des Périades at 3503 meters.
The current bivouac, rebuilt in 2020 following public fundraising, provides basic shelter for three to four people during alpine expeditions.
The ridge contains two notable breaks in its structure: the Brèche Puiseux and Brèche des Périades, creating three distinct mountain sections.
