La Nonne

La Nonne rises to an altitude of 3,340 meters within the Mont Blanc massif, featuring steep rocky faces and exposed ridges throughout its ascent route.

The peak gained recognition during the golden age of alpinism in the 18th century when explorers began documenting and climbing the summits of Chamonix Valley.

Local mountain guides maintain traditional climbing techniques and safety protocols specific to La Nonne, passing this knowledge through generations of alpinists.

Climbers need advanced mountaineering skills, proper equipment, and favorable weather conditions to attempt reaching La Nonne's summit, typically during summer months.

The summit position provides direct views of multiple glaciers, including the Mer de Glace, from an unusual angle not visible from other peaks.
