Rateau d'Aussois, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
Located in the southern Vanoise massif, Rateau d'Aussois extends between Lake Plan d'Aval and the Orgère valley, reaching an elevation of 3131 meters.
The Orgère valley near Rateau d'Aussois supported fifteen families who cultivated barley and maintained livestock activities during summer months through past centuries.
The mountain trails feature traditional alpine chalets, constructed in a semi-buried style along slopes to protect against frequent winter avalanches.
The complete circuit spans 15.5 kilometers with 1250 meters of elevation gain, requiring approximately seven hours to complete the full hiking route.
The mountain structure contains distinct Permian age geological formations, including anagenites, quartzite, micaschists, and varied conglomerate compositions.
