Pointe de Puvat, Mountain summit in Bornes Massif, France.
Located at 1497 meters elevation, Pointe de Puvat presents steep limestone cliffs and stands prominently above the Plateau des Glières in the French Alps.
The mountain region gained recognition during World War II when the Plateau des Glières beneath Pointe de Puvat served as a resistance stronghold.
Local mountaineers maintain traditional hiking routes to the summit, marking paths that connect various points across the Bornes Massif network.
The final twenty meters of ascent demand technical climbing skills, with exposed sections requiring careful navigation and appropriate mountain gear.
From the summit, visitors observe an extensive panorama encompassing Lake Annecy, the Aravis range, and the Mont Blanc Massif in clear conditions.
