A wide, grassy summit above the Le Tour ski area. The summit is right on the border of Switzerland and offers magnificent views of both the Chamonix valley and the Valais region of Switzerland, the Trient glacier and the Tour glacier. This peak provides a pleasant variation from the austere and intimidating rocky peaks that surround the Balme region.

Culminating at an altitude of 2,321 metres, it marks, with the nearby Col de Balme, the bottom of the Chamonix valley to the southwest and rises above Vallorcine to the northwest. Boundary marker no. 3 marks the border which here forms a right angle between the Col de Balme to the southeast and the Plan des Reines to the southwest.

The sources of the Arve are located on the sunny side of the mountain, just below the summit. On its shady side is Lake Catogne.
