Tête de la Forclaz, Alpine summit in Le Reposoir and Sallanches, France.
The Tête de la Forclaz peak reaches an elevation of 2432 meters in the Aravis mountain range, overlooking the Arve Valley between Sallanches and Le Reposoir.
The geological structure of Tête de la Forclaz dates back to the Secondary Era, composed of sedimentary rocks typical of the Northern French Alps.
Mountain shepherds maintain traditional pastoral practices on the surrounding slopes, leading their herds through the grassy meadows during summer months.
Marked trails provide access to the summit from multiple starting points, including routes from Col de la Forclaz and the hamlet of Doran.
The summit position provides a complete view of Mont Blanc massif, the Arve Valley, and the surrounding peaks of the Aravis range.
