Haute Cime Summit

Highlight • Summit

La Haute Cime is a peak within the Dents du Midi, a collection of magnificent rocky mountains close to the Swiss/French border. The Haute Cime is the only one of these peaks generally reached by hiking, rather than climbing, and is usually climbed without additional precautions such as ropes, harnesses and protection. As a result, this makes this summit a great, involving outing, offering not only fantastic views of Mont Blanc and miles of endless mountains, but also some technical difficulty in the ascent, as well as accomplishing a real summit. Although this mountain is intended for hiking, it is still a real mountain. Take appropriate precautions when navigating this terrain, make sure you are confident in your abilities, and hire a guide if you are not completely sure.

Lac de Salanfe

Highlight • Lake

If you want to reach the reservoir you have to climb the steep mountain road up to a 28% gradient, but at the top you will be rewarded with a great panorama.
