Pointe de Ressachaux

Pointe de Ressachaux is a summit in the French Alps located in Haute-Savoie that reaches approximately 2000 meters in elevation. The peak provides wide views across the surrounding mountain ranges and valleys of the Chablais region.

The summit was first mapped during 19th century French Alpine expeditions that surveyed the mountain ranges of Haute-Savoie. These early explorations established the foundation for modern hiking maps and knowledge of this area.

The summit can be reached via established hiking paths that reflect how local climbers have traditionally explored this part of the Alps over many generations.

Proper mountain gear and weather awareness are essential for this climb, as conditions can change quickly on exposed terrain. Start early in the day to allow enough daylight for the ascent and descent.

During winter months, snow patterns on the northern face develop distinctive wind-carved formations that reshape with each season. These natural sculptures are rarely the same from year to year.
