Mont de Gébroulaz is a mountain in Savoie, France. It lies in the Vanoise Massif, between Aiguille de Péclet and Aiguille de Polset. It has an elevation of 3,511 metres above sea level.[1]
The toponym "Gébroulaz" is derived from the Gaulish word gabra, meaning a female chamois, together with the diminutive suffix -oulaz. It is a traditional place name (or lieu-dit) of the Méribel area, and is also used in the names of a nearby glacier (Glacier de Gébroulaz) and mountain pass (Col de Gébroulaz).[2]
