Sommet des Salles, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France
Sommet des Salles is a 1,757-metre mountain in the Aravis range in Haute-Savoie. It forms a star-shaped summit with several ridges: one to the south-east toward Megève, two to the north-east toward Combloux, and one to the west continuing to the Christomet and Croisse Baulet. The wooded crest has grassy clearings and a small cluster of pale buildings along a path.
The sources document no geological dating for Sommet des Salles; the limestone and marl of the Bajocian and Aalenian stages cited in earlier texts are not supported. What is recorded is its position: a 1,757-metre mountain in the Aravis range, above the col de Megève and the start of the val d'Arly, forming the highest point of the Combloux ski area linked to Megève.
The summit marks the highest point of the Combloux ski area, which is linked to the Megève ski area to the south. Three chairlifts lead to the top, while ski lifts, chairlifts and a gondola cover its slopes. In summer the same ridge paths serve walkers between Megève, Combloux and Cordon.
