Alpettes, Mountain summit in French Alps, France
Alpettes is a mountain summit in the French Alps reaching approximately 1870 meters in elevation. From the top, views extend across surrounding valleys and neighboring mountain ranges.
For generations, the summit served as a natural landmark helping locals navigate mountain passes. The slopes saw traditional herding routes established as shepherds moved flocks seasonally.
The summit region maintains traditional Alpine farming practices where shepherds guide their flocks through seasonal grazing paths during summer months.
Several marked trails reach the summit, with the main path starting near the local tourist office. This is an all-day excursion, so start early and wear proper hiking boots.
The geological formation contains limestone structures that create natural water filtration systems beneath the surface. This feature gives the mountain spring a special role as a natural water source.
