Mont Mallet is a peak of around 4000 meters elevation in the French Alps with pronounced granite formations. The mountain sits within the Mont Blanc massif and features steep ridges and icy slopes.
The peak was first climbed on September 4, 1871, when Leslie Stephen led a party that included artist Gabriel Loppé. This early ascent was part of the intense mountaineering exploration of the 19th century in this region.
The mountain draws climbers seeking to test themselves on demanding routes. People who come here are drawn to the technical challenges this granite peak offers.
The best preparation is physical fitness and mountaineering experience, since the route requires ridge and glacier climbing. Visitors should expect changing weather conditions and bring appropriate gear.
