Dôme du Goûter, Mountain peak in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France
The Dôme du Goûter rises to 4,304 meters above sea level on the France-Italy border within the Mont Blanc massif of the Alps.
The mountain became a primary route to Mont Blanc's summit in the 1800s when mountaineers established the Goûter path for ascending Europe's highest peak.
French and Italian mountaineering communities share this summit as a critical milestone during Mont Blanc expeditions, marking their alpine heritage.
Climbers need crampons, ice axes, and ropes to navigate the glaciated terrain, with the Goûter Hut providing shelter at 3,817 meters elevation.
The Grand Couloir section presents specific climbing challenges due to frequent rockfall, requiring precise timing and careful route planning for safe passage.
