Le Brévent, Mountain summit and sports venue at 2,525 meters in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France
The Brévent features climbing walls and slopes, connected to Chamonix by a gondola system that takes visitors through Plan Praz at 1,999 meters.
The development of Brévent's cable car infrastructure in the late 20th century transformed this natural peak into an accessible destination for visitors.
The summit stands as a gathering point for mountaineers, paragliders, and winter sports enthusiasts who frequent its varied terrain throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the summit via multiple hiking paths or the cable car system, with round trips taking approximately one hour and thirty minutes.
The Brévent climbing walls face Mont Blanc directly, providing climbers with natural rock surfaces just five minutes from the cable car station.
