Grand Marchet, Mountain summit in Vanoise National Park, France
The Grand Marchet rises to an elevation of 3200 meters within the French Alps, featuring steep rock faces and numerous climbing routes along its slopes.
The establishment of Vanoise National Park in 1963 marked a turning point for Grand Marchet, integrating it into France's first designated national park territory.
Local shepherds maintain traditional alpine farming practices around Grand Marchet, contributing to the preservation of mountain pastures and cheese-making traditions.
Multiple trails lead to Grand Marchet's summit, with the main access point starting from the nearby village, requiring approximately six hours for a round trip.
The mountain's position offers views of both French and Italian Alpine ranges, creating a natural observation point for studying glacial movements and formations.
