Tour Ronde, Mountain summit in Mont Blanc massif, Italy.

Tour Ronde rises to an elevation of 3,792 meters within the Mont Blanc massif, forming a natural boundary between France and Italy at its northeast section.

The first successful ascent of Tour Ronde occurred on July 22, 1867, by a team including Douglas William Freshfield, Daniel Balleys, and Michel Payot.

The mountain serves as a meeting point between French and Italian mountaineering traditions, with climbers from both nations regularly scaling its slopes.

Climbers access Tour Ronde from Torino Hut near Pointe Helbronner, following established routes that include both technical climbs and less demanding paths.

The mountain underwent pioneering laser-scanning research in 2005 to monitor permafrost degradation, establishing new methods for studying climate impacts on alpine environments.
