Mont du Borgne

Mont du Borgne rises to an elevation of 3,153 meters within the Vanoise Massif, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations at higher altitudes.

The summit became a reference point for Alpine expeditions during the development of mountaineering routes through the Vanoise region in the 19th century.

Local mountain guides pass down generations of knowledge about the peak's climbing routes, weather patterns, and natural features through specialized training programs.

Climbers need technical equipment, including ropes and crampons, to navigate the mountain's challenging terrain during the summer climbing season from June to September.

The geological composition of Mont du Borgne reveals distinct mineral formations that document the tectonic forces responsible for creating the Alpine range.
