The rocky, moonscape summit of Le Grand Mont, with its distinctive summit cross, can be seen for many miles around. The out-and-back ascent from the village of Arêches is a big but thoroughly enjoyable day out, with steep, grassy mountainsides, Alpine pastures, marmots, hidden lakes and engagingly technical but not dangerous terrain.
A wooden cross marks the summit at 2,686 metres (8,812 ft) and a rocky pedestal affords glorious views over the Beaufortain range and further afield towards Mount Blanc.

Hiking
Whether in sneakers or on skis, the Grand Mont is a must! The view of Mont Blanc (among others) at the top is incredible
