Pointe du Grand Pré, Mountain summit in Val d'Isère, France.

Pointe du Grand Pré is a rocky summit rising to 3,016 metres in the Tarentaise, about 8.4 km north of Tignes. Its upper slopes are bare grey stone and scree, with patches of snow below the pointed crest, while grass and low vegetation cover the lower flanks and the saddle. A dirt footpath winds up the grassy slope below the peak.

Herders used this location for centuries as a reference point when moving flocks through the Tarentaise Valley's Alpine pastures. Chairlift development beginning in the 1960s transformed how people accessed and used these mountain slopes.

The Grand Pré area shows how traditional sheep herding and modern skiing coexist on the same slopes. Visitors notice this mix in the old grazing trails and contemporary lift infrastructure side by side.

The easiest way to reach the top is via chairlift or cable car during ski season operations. Allow extra time to acclimatize to the altitude, as the height can cause fatigue even during a short visit.

Pointe du Grand Pré rises to 3,016 m, about 4.2 km west of the higher Grande Motte (3,656 m), and roughly 8.4 km north of Tignes. Its slopes are mostly bare rock and scree, with grass and low vegetation on the lower flanks and saddle. A dirt footpath crosses the grassy terrain below the peak.
