Pointe du Château, Alpine summit in Le Reposoir, France

Pointe du Château is a mountain summit at 2,104 meters (6,905 feet) located in the Reposoir massif in the French Alps. The peak sits at the northern terminus of the Aravis range, where views extend across the Arve Valley and surrounding mountain ridges.

This summit marks the northern boundary of the Aravis chain and served as a key reference point for mapping the French Alps. The peak became important to mountaineers and geographers seeking to understand the structure of this alpine region.

The summit's name, Pointe du Château, links it to the neighbouring Tête du Château just to the south. The peak stands above Magland in the Arve valley and Le Reposoir, and the GR 96 long-distance footpath crosses the Gueule à Vent pass at 2,014 metres just north of the top.

Marked trails connect the peak to the valleys of Le Reposoir and Nancy-sur-Cluses, with climbs requiring good hiking boots and weatherproof clothing. Allow adequate time for the altitude and terrain, as the ascent demands steady pacing and rest breaks.

The Gueule à Vent is a small col at 2,014 metres just north of the summit, separating Pointe du Château from the Tête des Muets; the GR 96 long-distance trail crosses it. The summit itself reaches 2,104 metres and overlooks the Arve valley, with Magland to the east and Le Reposoir to the west.
