Pointes de la Blonnière, Mountain peak in La Clusaz, France
The Pointes de la Blonnière is a mountain in the French Alps situated where three valleys meet. The limestone walls create steep faces with multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty.
Mountain climbers established routes on these limestone walls over past decades, gradually developing the peak into a climbing destination. This exploration created pathways for visitors of different skill levels to engage with the terrain.
The peaks stand on the boundary of La Clusaz, La Giettaz and Manigod, where the Aravis range separates the Manigod valley to the west from the Arrondine valley and La Giettaz to the east. The name Blonnière is shared with the neighbouring slopes above the col des Aravis, and the summits are climbed from these three communes.
Access requires experience with technical climbing and proper equipment such as ropes and protection devices. Weather can change quickly on the peak, so careful planning and preparation are essential.
Several unnamed summits exist on official maps within this range, offering less-traveled pathways for those seeking routes beyond the main climbing areas. This anonymity appeals to visitors looking to explore more remote sections.
