Rochers de la Grande Balme, Mountain summit in Tignes, France.

The Rochers de la Grande Balme features steep rocky cliffs and varied terrain patterns, creating natural formations at different elevation levels.

The summit gained recognition in March 2023 when two substantial avalanches occurred during a snow sports event, leading to increased safety monitoring.

Local mountaineers frequently gather at the Rochers de la Grande Balme to practice traditional alpine climbing techniques and share mountain safety knowledge.

Visitors can access the summit through multiple marked trails starting from Tignes Val Claret at 2120 meters, with skiing routes available during winter.

The mountain contains specific snow accumulation patterns that create natural powder reserves reaching depths of 5 to 10 centimeters at elevations between 2500-3000 meters.
