Pointe de la Queblette, Alpine summit in La Balme-de-Thuy, France.
Pointe de la Queblette is an Alpine summit featuring a distinctive ridge formation between two mountain ranges. The peak rises to a height where the tree line ends, offering open ridgeline slopes with wide views across the surrounding valleys and peaks.
The mountain routes around this summit served as escape and supply paths for French resistance groups during World War II. The high passes provided safe passages away from German occupation checkpoints.
Shepherds graze their herds on the high meadows surrounding the summit during summer months. This traditional farming practice has shaped the landscape and remains visible in the open spaces above the tree line.
The hike climbs steeply through open meadows and across exposed ridge sections, taking most of a day from the valley floor. Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate gear are essential, as conditions at this altitude can change rapidly.
The ridge displays a striking linear pattern created by the different erosion rates of alternating limestone layers. This geological detail gives the peak its distinctive appearance from certain vantage points.
