Pointe de Vallaisonnay

Pointe de Vallaisonnay, Mountain summit in Champagny-en-Vanoise, France.

Pointe de Vallaisonnay is a 3,020 m summit in the Vanoise massif, Savoie, rising from a grassy slope. Its top shows two high points, a lower rounded one on the left and a sharper higher peak on the right, built of light grey fractured rock cut by vertical ridges and gullies, with snow patches in crevices near the top. The mountain is formed of Triassic limestone and dolomite of the Vallaisonnay and Aliet unit resting on Palaeozoic schist.

The mountain's rock belongs to the Vallaisonnay and Aliet unit: Triassic limestones and dolomites resting on a Palaeozoic schist basement. This geological structure, described in the French Wikipedia entry, explains the light grey, fractured limestone of the summit. No historical events or human uses are recorded in the sources.

No hiking trail reaches the summit, so the mountain is visited in winter on ski touring routes from the Doron de Champagny valley via the Col de Roche Noire, just below the top to the south-west, or from the Col du Palet sector to the east-north-east. The name Vallaisonnay also labels the geological unit of Triassic limestone and dolomite that forms the mountain.

No marked hiking trail reaches the summit at 3,020 m. In winter it is reached on skis from the Doron de Champagny valley via the Col de Roche Noire, just below the top to the south-west, or from the Col du Palet sector to the east-north-east.
