Grand Perron des Encombres, Mountain summit in Les Belleville, France

The Grand Perron des Encombres reaches an elevation of 2,824 meters in the Vanoise massif between Maurienne Valley and Les Belleville Valley.

The mountain formation dates back to the Jurassic period, featuring limestone deposits that created its current geological structure over millions of years.

Local shepherds have traditionally used the surrounding alpine pastures for grazing their herds during the summer months in the Vanoise region.

Hikers can access the summit through a marked trail starting from Petit Col des Encombres, with an orientation table at the top for mountain identification.

The mountain slopes provide natural habitat for ibex populations, which frequently gather near the plateau after Petit Col des Encombres.
