L'Evêque

Located in the Pennine Alps, L'Évêque reaches an elevation of 3,716 meters and forms a double tower with the adjacent Mitre de l'Évêque peak.

The mountain received its French name due to its shape resembling a bishop's mitre, with two distinct peaks characterizing its silhouette against the Alpine skyline.

The summit represents a significant mountaineering destination in the Valais region, attracting climbers who seek to master its technical north-northwest ridge.

Access to L'Évêque requires proper alpine equipment, including crampons and ice axes, with the nearest accommodation at Rifugio Nacamuli al Col Collon.

The mountain connects to Mont Collon through a glacier-covered rocky ridge, presenting numerous crevasses that demand careful navigation during ascents.
