Grand Mont, Mountain peak in Beaufortain Massif, France

Grand Mont is a mountain peak in the Beaufortain range south of Megève, rising to about 2686 meters (8812 feet). The summit offers views of surrounding ridges and valleys, with slopes that change color through the seasons and rocky outcrops visible from many angles.

The sources record no geological dating for Grand Mont; its documented history is one of use. The summit marks the municipal boundary between Beaufort to the north and Cevins to the south. It has long served as a passage on the Pierra Menta ski-mountaineering race, whose competitors cross the summit while spectators climb in winter to watch.

The summit is a traditional checkpoint of the Pierra Menta, an international ski-mountaineering race; spectators climb the mountain in winter to cheer the competitors as they pass the top. The municipal boundary between Beaufort and Cevins runs over the summit.

Hikers should wear weather-appropriate clothing and check conditions before climbing, especially from November through April when snow and ice make routes more difficult. The mountain is accessible from several directions, but routes are safest in clear weather when visibility is good.
