Le Grammont, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.

Le Grammont rises 2,172 meters above Lake Geneva, presenting sedimentary rock formations and offering views of the Rhone Valley and Mont Blanc Massif.

In 563 AD, the Tauredunum event occurred on the slopes of Le Grammont, near a Roman fortress at the confluence of Rhône River and Lake Geneva.

The mountain paths intersect with traditional Swiss Alpine routes, connecting local communities through a network of marked trails and mountain shelters.

The ascent requires approximately 3 hours through a 13.6-kilometer trail, with parking facilities available at Le Flon in Miex.

A British Lancaster bomber crashed on Le Grammont during World War II when Swiss anti-aircraft defenses engaged the aircraft over neutral territory.
