Pointe du Gleyzin, Alpine summit in Belledonne massif, France

The Gleyzin peak reaches an elevation of 2533 meters and features steep slopes with vertical drops extending to 1600 meters on its western face.

Mountaineers developed various climbing routes over the years, establishing this mountain as an alternative destination to the more frequented Col de Morétan.

This mountain stands as a characteristic example of French Alpine peaks, integrated into the high-mountain routes of the Belledonne massif.

The ascent begins from La Bourgeat Noire at 1095 meters, requiring crampons and an ice axe for progression on the upper technical sections.

The summit presents an uncommon combination of technical sections, including a delicate traverse on western slopes and a final mixed passage at 50 degrees.
