Pointe Droset, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
The Pointe Droset peak rises to an elevation of 2,917 meters within the Cottian Alps, presenting steep slopes and exposed rock formations.
The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between French and Italian territories since the establishment of modern borders in the Alpine region.
Local mountaineering groups maintain several marked trails to the summit, continuing a tradition of Alpine route preservation established by earlier generations.
Climbers need technical equipment and Alpine experience to reach the summit, with access primarily available from June through September due to weather conditions.
The mountain displays different names across borders: Pointe Droset in France and Monte Malamot in Italy, reflecting its cross-cultural geographical position.
