セントバーナードの絶景の山頂・トップ14

Caution: This section involves a semi-stop and traverse along a cliff face without a handrail. Not recommended for people prone to vertigo or for children.

Magnificent view of the heart of the Chartreuse region, the plain of St. Laurent du Pont, and Mont Blanc in the background, seemingly within arm's reach. The access path via the ridge that connects to Outheran is very straightforward. The climb from St. Jean de Couz on the SW side is quite complicated. The path is barely visible and rather difficult to follow on a very steep face. The final section leads up a very steep couloir, through a slippery and unstable scree slope. Furthermore, the exposure to falling rocks is quite significant; extreme caution is required (helmet recommended). The final section consists of short climbing sections and very steep ascents in fairly exposed grassy terrain (fairly straightforward, but exposed).

A stunning summit with views of Mont Blanc. The two climbs from the Col des Ayes are relatively steep, but steel cables are installed at the more dangerous sections. The climb north via the Trou du Glaz is a bit longer and a bit easier. The climb east is a bit steeper and more exposed. The view is good, though.

Done today, lots of snow at the top, the climbing sections are dry and the descent too

Very beautiful view of the Chartreuse Massif from the northeast. Beautiful view of Mont-Blanc, Lake Bourget, Belledonne in the background and even the foothills of the Vercors and Obiou which stand out behind the Chartreuse. What calm!

Very beautiful panorama of the Chartreuse seen from the north-west, with Mont-Blanc in focus to the north-east, the Belledonne massif behind the Chartreuse and the foothills of the Vercors to the south, as far as Obiou which can be seen when the weather is nice. And all after a short climb, with a few slightly steep passages however...

Mount Outheran is located on a beautiful rocky spur which offers spectacular and dizzying views of the northern valley peaks of the Chartreuse massif.

Pretty summit culminating at 1,621 meters above sea level in the north of the Chartreuse massif.
