Pointe de la Queblette

Pointe de la Queblette, Alpine summit in La Balme-de-Thuy, France.

Pointe de la Québlette is a 1,915-metre elongated hogback in Haute-Savoie, with a grassy cap crossed by faint footpaths and pale fractured limestone on its flanks. A small building with a light blue-grey roof sits on a lower grassy shelf. The ridge carries lesser summits: Pointe de la Balme and Pointe de l'Ovine to the northeast, Pointe de Dran to the southwest.

Pointe de la Québlette is a 1,915-metre ridge in Haute-Savoie, bordered by the col de la Buffaz and the mont Lachat to the south-east, the Fier valley to the south-west, the plateau des Glières and the plaine de Dran to the north-west, and the montagne des Auges to the north-east. The same ridge carries the lower pointe de la Balme and pointe de l'Ovine to the north-east and the pointe de Dran to the south-west.

The summit lies on the ridge between the Fier valley and the Plateau des Glières, above the hamlets of La Balme-de-Thuy and Glières-Val-de-Borne. Its grassy top and the col de la Buffaz below connect these grazing grounds, and the faint paths crossing the slopes are the visible trace of that seasonal movement of herds.

The summit lies on a ridge between the Col de la Buffaz and the Plaine de Dran on the Glières plateau, with the Fier valley to the southwest. Faint footpaths cross the grassy upper slopes toward the top; the pale fractured rock of the flanks is steep and should be avoided. A small building with a light blue-grey roof stands on a lower grassy shelf beside a thin path.

The summit is a long ridge, or crêt, reaching 1,915 m, with several lower tops along it: the pointe de la Balme and pointe de l'Ovine to the north-east, and the pointe de Dran to the south-west. The col de la Buffaz separates it from the mont Lachat to the south-east, and the plateau des Glières, including the plaine de Dran, lies to the north-west.
