    At 3,015 meters above sea level, the Pointe de l'Observatoire offers an incredible panorama of Mont Blanc, the Péclet Polset massif, the Vanoise glaciers and the Chavière valley.

      Summit with a fantastic view of Mont Blanc.
      Easy and short climb from the Col d'Aussois.

        The official path runs up the slope to the right. If this is still covered by old snow in early summer, however, there are many tracks in the middle up to the grade. Between the ridge and the top edge of the snow field you then come to the summit.
