While the Madeleine can't compete with the "greatest" peaks of the Alps in terms of absolute height (officially, it's not even quite 2000m), it's a tough climb, especially on hot days, as the steepest sections are in the lower third. Depending on the time of day and the shade, it can be a good test of mental stamina, especially if you've already skied the Galibier. At the top, there's a small restaurant in a very beautiful location.
