Haute Cime, Mountain summit in Chablais Alps, Switzerland
The Haute Cime rises to 3257 meters as the highest peak of the Dents du Midi range, featuring limestone formations and steep rocky slopes.
Jean-Maurice Clément completed the first documented ascent of the Haute Cime in 1784, establishing the beginning of mountaineering activities in this section of the Swiss Alps.
The mountain name translates to High Peak of the Teeth of Noon, reflecting the French-speaking heritage of the Valais canton where it stands.
Climbers typically start from Champéry, following a marked trail through Pas d'Encel and Susanfe Pass, requiring approximately 8 hours for a complete round trip.
The summit provides direct views of 24 different peaks above 4000 meters across the Alps, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn in clear weather conditions.
