Pointe Chaurionde, Mountain summit in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
The Pointe Chaurionde rises to 2173 meters above sea level, featuring steep grassy slopes and distinct limestone formations at its peak.
The mountain paths around Pointe Chaurionde were established during the 19th century when local shepherds moved their flocks between valley pastures.
The summit forms part of the Bauges Mountains National Wildlife Reserve, where traditional Alpine farming practices continue throughout the seasons.
Hikers can reach the summit via an 18-kilometer loop trail starting from the Orgeval parking area, with an elevation gain of 1180 meters.
The mountain hosts populations of mouflon sheep and chamois goats, which frequent the eastern slopes during morning and evening hours.
