Petit Rognon, Pyramidal peak in Mont Blanc massif, France.
The Petit Rognon rises to an elevation of 3,009 meters between the Vallée Blanche and the Envers du Plan glacier, above the Géant glacier.
The peak of Petit Rognon stands as a testament to the mountaineering developments in the Mont Blanc region since the nineteenth century.
The Petit Rognon forms an integral part of the mountaineering traditions in the Chamonix valley, where climbing techniques continue to evolve.
