Schopfenspitz

The Gros Brun summit rises to an elevation of 2104 meters and marks the intersection of three valleys: Breccaschlund, Jaunbachtal, and Vallé du Javroz.

Throughout centuries, the mountain has guided local shepherds and farmers across the alpine terrain, serving as a geographical reference point for navigation.

The mountain trails lead past traditional alpine farms where seasonal cattle grazing continues according to long-established Swiss agricultural practices.

The ascent takes approximately 3.5 hours from La Valsainte monastery, with several sections near Pertet y Tsamo col requiring the use of safety chains.

The mountain features a geological composition of limestone and marl, supporting specific plant species that thrive in this mineral-rich environment.
