An example of high alpine karst : the «désert de platé» (Haute Savoie). Situated in the french northern Alps between 1600 m and 2800 m, the «Désert de Platé» is characterized by a wet, cold and very snowy climate (P = 2400-2800 mm/year), we observe several morpho-climatic stages : the upper moutain karst (1500-1700 m), the subalpine karst (1700-1950 m), the alpine karst (1950 -2600 m) and the proglacial karst (well developped in the «Haut Giffre» massif. Glacio-karstic landforms as «cirque-dolines» and pavements (Schichttreppenkarst) have directly inherited of quaternary glaciations. The deep karst too, with its complex drainage and its fillings, underlines the part of quaternary climatic sequence. Now the karstic flow is a nival type (spr...
