Mont Jovet

Mont Jovet is a mountain peak in the Vanoise massif that reaches 2,558 meters and displays steep slopes on its northeastern face. The surrounding terrain shows the rugged character typical of high Alpine environments.

The mountain gained importance after the ski resort La Plagne was developed nearby in the 1970s. Its proximity to this facility helped establish the area as a center for Alpine activities.

Local mountain guides share their knowledge of Alpine safety protocols and navigation techniques with visitors who venture onto Mont Jovet's trails.

Hikes begin from Plagne Aime 2000 station at about 2,100 meters elevation following clearly marked trails. Sturdy hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing are important since conditions can change rapidly at this altitude.

The summit has an orientation table that marks the surrounding peaks, helping hikers identify the landscape around them. Lake Bovet sits directly below the northern slope, providing a striking water feature at this Alpine elevation.
