Pointe de Chombas, Mountain summit at Le Grand-Bornand and Sallanches, France

The Pointe de Chombas rises to 2468 meters, featuring extensive limestone formations and sharp rock slabs across its northern slopes.

The mountain peak serves as a natural boundary marker between the communes of Le Grand-Bornand and Sallanches since the regional territorial divisions.

Local shepherds maintain traditional alpine farming practices around the mountain base, contributing to the preservation of mountain pastures and dairy production.

The ascent requires seven hours of hiking with a 1350-meter elevation gain, starting from the Troncs parking area at 1253 meters.

The summit path crosses distinctive limestone pavements with deep crevices, marked by blue waypoints and cairns for navigation.
