Sommet de Montgelas, Mountain summit in Chignin, France
The Montgelas summit rises to an elevation of 1301 meters within the Bauges massif, featuring dense forest trails and natural observation points.
Local communities established charcoal production sites near the summit, as evidenced by the remaining Chaudron furnace structure at 1250 meters elevation.
The installation of the Chignin Cross in 2011 marks a traditional Alpine practice of placing religious symbols at elevated vantage points.
The hiking trail begins at Curienne village, following yellow and green markings through a 6.5-kilometer path with 500 meters of elevation gain.
The summit connects three distinct communes - Chignin, Curienne, and La Thuile - through an intersection of walking paths at 1200 meters altitude.
