Pointe des Pichères, Mountain peak in Vanoise Massif, France.
The Pointe des Pichères stands at 3319 meters elevation in the French Alps, surrounded by glaciers and rocky terrain in Vanoise National Park.
The summit became an important reference point for mountaineering expeditions in the Savoie region during the early 1900s.
Local shepherds maintain the ancient tradition of seasonal migration to the lower pastures of Pointe des Pichères for Beaufort cheese production.
The ascent from Rosuel requires a full day of hiking with an elevation gain of 1860 meters following marked trails on the GR 5.
The snow conditions above 2000 meters allow for ski touring from December through April with descents exceeding 1800 meters in vertical drop.
