Cime de Caron, Mountain summit in Val Thorens, France
Cime Caron reaches an elevation of 3,195 meters and provides views of French, Italian, and Swiss Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif point.
The development of Cime Caron began with the establishment of Val Thorens ski resort in 1971, leading to extensive infrastructure for mountain activities.
The mountain forms part of Les 3 Vallées, where generations of skiers and mountaineers have practiced traditional Alpine sports throughout the seasons.
Access to the summit requires taking multiple cable cars from Val Thorens, with specific routes varying depending on seasonal lift operations.
The panoramic footbridge at Cime Caron features a suspended rotunda with transparent floors and windows engraved with mountain peak identifications.
