Pointe de Crève-Tête, Mountain summit in Valmorel, France.

The Pointe de Crève-Tête rises to 2,342 meters, featuring steep slopes and offering views of Mont Blanc and the Vanoise mountain range.

The summit has long served as a reference point for shepherds guiding their flocks through the mountain passes between Valmorel and neighboring valleys.

Local mountaineers maintain a traditional cross at the peak, marking both a geographical milestone and a meeting point for alpine communities.

The circular hiking trail spans 15 kilometers with a 1,000-meter elevation gain, requiring 7 to 8 hours to complete from the Valmorel station.

The peak functions as a launch site for paragliders who take advantage of the thermal currents rising from the Morel valley below.
