Tête Blanche

Tête Blanche rises to 3,710 meters in elevation, standing between the valleys of Hérens and Mattertal in Switzerland and Valpelline in Italy.

The mountain gained recognition as a vital checkpoint during the first editions of the Patrouille des Glaciers race, connecting Chamonix to Zermatt.

The peak marks a linguistic intersection where French, German, and Italian-speaking regions meet, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the Alpine region.

Climbers access the summit through the Mont Miné Glacier route, with the Bertol mountain hut serving as a base for expeditions.

The mountain functions as a geographical tripoint between two Swiss valleys and one Italian valley, creating natural borders at high altitude.
