Sallanches

La Pointe Percée

Pointe Percée is the highest peak of the Aravis massif and probably the most emblematic. It rises majestically to 2742 m in the town of Sallanches.
It owes its name to an opening near the summit, on its northwest ridge.
It is a very popular summit. The route via the Cheminées de Sallanches is more technical and less busy than others. The course and the view are magnificent!
