Petit Montoir, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France
Petit Montoir is a mountain summit in the Bornes range that rises to 1584 meters. The limestone slopes offer views across the landscape toward Lake Annecy and the Mont Blanc massif.
Old shepherd routes traverse the ridge, established over centuries to reach high alpine pastures. These traditional paths remain visible in the mountain's layout today.
The summit forms part of the French Alpine network where mountaineers gather annually to maintain traditional climbing practices and mountain safety protocols.
Hikers start from the Parking des Taillées du Sautet and follow marked trails that pass by the Chalets des Chappeys toward the mountain shelter. The route is well signposted along the way.
The limestone rocks display fossils embedded within the karst landscape, creating windows into ancient marine life. The surface features natural stone patterns that resemble natural paving.
