The Lances de Malissard are two summits, located in the Chartreuse Mountains in the Department of Isère, in the French Prealps. More than the peaks themselves, it is the long ridge that is north/south facing, that separate the col de Bellefond and a long alpine valley of another ridge, the Aulp du Seuil, that dominates the Gresivaudan valley. There are two "Lances" (summits) in the Lances de Malissard. The South "Lance" of Malissard culminates at 2045m and north "Lance" of Malissard at 2036m. The Guiers Vif rises at the north end of the ridge of the Lances de Malissard.
