Pointe de Grande Combe, Mountain summit in Le Grand-Bornand, France.
Pointe de Grande Combe is a limestone and clay summit in the French Alps between Le Grand-Bornand and Le Reposoir. The peak rises to 2210 meters and features distinct slopes on its northern and southern faces.
The peak formed during the Lower Jurassic period from sedimentary rock deposits typical of the Alpine region. Tectonic processes later shaped its distinctive hogback structure.
Local mountaineers regularly organize winter expeditions to Pointe de Grande Combe, maintaining traditional Alpine skiing and climbing practices.
Ski touring routes begin on northern slopes around 1200 meters and reach approximately 1600 meters on southern faces. Special safety precautions apply above 2200 meters elevation.
The peak displays a rare combination of summit and hogback formations both clearly visible within the Klippe des Annes structure. This dual geological feature creates an unusual landscape from a geomorphological standpoint.
