La Haute Cime is a peak within the Dents du Midi, a collection of magnificent rocky mountains close to the Swiss/French border. The Haute Cime is the only one of these peaks generally reached by hiking, rather than climbing, and is usually climbed without additional precautions such as ropes, harnesses and protection. As a result, this makes this summit a great, involving outing, offering not only fantastic views of Mont Blanc and miles of endless mountains, but also some technical difficulty in the ascent, as well as accomplishing a real summit. Although this mountain is intended for hiking, it is still a real mountain. Take appropriate precautions when navigating this terrain, make sure you are confident in your abilities, and hire a guide if you are not completely sure.

The last 400 meters are steep up to 40 degrees only on coarse gravel, which is often very slippery on bare rock. The path is hardly recognizable, you have to try to stick to the Steinmanderln. Not recommended when clouds are rising, especially not downhill!

When the weather is nice, a great view from Lac Leman to Mont Blanc.
