The Tête d'Amont is one of the most striking peaks in the Écrins. It rises steeply and impressively above the Vallouise valley, with a massive, almost vertical limestone face rising from the landscape like a massive wall. From its high flanks and summit, spectacular views unfold across the entire Montbrison and Écrins massifs.
