A high peak above the southern slopes of the Chamonix Valley, on the edge of the Carlaveyron nature reserve. The summit offers close views of the Mont Blanc massif and a sense of remoteness at the quiet end of the valley. There are plenty of chamois in this area, so be sure to observe them and keep their habitat clean and well maintained.
