Pointe de la Croix

Pointe de la Croix reaches an elevation of 1272 meters and consists of sedimentary rock formations within the upper nappes of the Prealps mountain range.

The summit contains geological records within the Chablais Geopark, documenting millions of years of Alpine formation through its sedimentary rock layers.

The communities of Abondance and Saint-Jean-d'Aulps maintain Alpine traditions around this peak, particularly in cheese production and cattle farming practices.

The main access route starts from the Sevan parking area along a wide track, with alternative paths available from Petit Châtel or Col de Chétillon.

From its peak, visitors can observe both French and Swiss Chablais regions, revealing the distinct geological structures of the Prealpine nappes.
