Pointe de l'Ouillon

The Pointe de l'Ouillon rises in the French Alps, presenting a prominent peak surrounded by steep mountainous terrain and alpine meadows.

The summit became a reference point for mountaineers during the 19th century expansion of alpine exploration in the French Alps.

Local shepherds maintain the tradition of seasonal grazing on the mountain slopes, preserving agricultural methods passed through generations.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from the Mottets refuge or Bonneval les Bains, with optimal hiking conditions during summer months.

The peak provides a natural boundary between two major valleys, creating distinct microclimates on its northern and southern faces.
