An exceptional view of the entire Mont Blanc massif on the Italian side, the Grandes Jorasses, Courmayeur and the Val Veny. Breathe and enjoy!

The Tête de la Tronche (2581 m) is a grassy crest that forms the top of the Mont de la Saxe on the Col Sapin. The view is phenomenal: Mont Blanc massif from the Grandes Jorasses far into the Val Veny with the mighty glacial stream of the Glacier del Miage. And views down to Courmayeur with its local mountain, Mont Chetif.
The CCC-Trail-Marathon leads over the summit, here the first timing takes place in front of the great panorama, but only a few runners even have eyes for it.
