L'Alpette, Mountain summit in Chartreuse massif, France
L'Alpette reaches an elevation of 1640 meters and forms part of the French Alps within the Chartreuse mountain range near Granier and Pinet peaks.
The summit has served as a reference point for cartographers and mountaineers since the early mapping expeditions of the French Alps in the 18th century.
The peak connects with numerous hiking paths that lead to the national natural reserve of Hauts de Chartreuse, where traditional Alpine flora grows.
Hikers can reach L'Alpette through marked trails starting from La Plagne hamlet at 1096 meters, following a forest path that requires moderate fitness.
The summit position provides direct views of Mont Granier and serves as an observation point for studying local geological formations.
