Pointe de Pramecou

Pointe de Pramecou, Mountain summit in Tignes, France.

Pointe de Pramecou is a 3,009-metre summit in the Vanoise massif, on a ridge between the Dôme de Pramecou and the Aiguille Noire de Pramecou. Its upper part is bare grey rock with two pointed peaks, the higher on the left, and broad fans of pale scree descend below. A small snow patch lies in a shaded hollow on the left face.

Pointe de Pramecou lies on a ridge running from the Dôme de Pramecou (3,081 m) southeast of the summit down to the Aiguille Noire de Pramecou (2,977 m) via the Col des Vés (2,846 m). The mountain is built of Upper Jurassic limestones and marbles folded into many near-horizontal folds and heavily eroded by glaciers, resting on Lower Jurassic schistose limestones.

Two ski touring routes pass at the foot of the peak, one to the south-west and one to the north-east, while the summit itself lies away from marked hiking paths, including the GR 5 section that crosses Col du Palet to the north. The mountain is climbed on skis rather than walked in summer.

Reaching the summit requires full mountaineering gear and experience with high-altitude navigation and hazardous terrain. Preparation and knowledge of conditions before attempting the climb are essential for safety.

At Col du Palet, layers of rock from different geological ages are visible along the route. Visitors can observe how ancient deposits of gypsum sit alongside limestone from an earlier period.
