Mont Fort

Mont Fort reaches an elevation of 3,328 meters, featuring glaciers on its northwestern and northeastern sides with the Glacier de Tortin being the largest.

The mountain became more accessible after the construction of cable car systems connecting it to Verbier and Nendaz through an intermediate station at Col des Gentianes.

The mountain forms part of the extensive 4 Vallées ski region, connecting different communities including Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon.

Two separate cable car routes provide access to the summit from either Verbier or Nendaz, converging at a station located at 2,894 meters elevation.

A small mountain lake, Lac du Petit Mont Fort, sits at 2,764 meters on the southern flank, while the mountain's secondary peak reaches 3,135 meters.
