Tête Rousse

This high-elevation alpine route features the high point of this guidebook. Not only is it a varied, fun, and technical run, because the regular route up Mont Blanc begins at the Nid d’Aigle and passes the Tête Rousse Hut, but it also provides a glimpse into the world of mountaineering. On this rocky, lunar, high-elevation terrain, you’ll likely come across some of the many ibex that live up in these parts, away from the bustle of the lower elevations.
