The
Aravis is a mountain range in
Savoie and
Haute-Savoie, eastern
France. It is part of the
French Prealps, a lower chain of mountain ranges west of the main chain of the
Alps. Its highest summit is the
Pointe Percée, at 2753m. The orientation of the Aravis is north-south, and it stretches from
Cluses in the north, to
Ugine in the south. The
Bornes massif, sometimes considered part of the Aravis, lies to its west. The Aravis is separated from the
Chablais mountains in the north-east by the
Arve river valley, and from the
Graian Alps in the south-east by the
Arly river valley.
