Tête du Colonney, Mountain summit in Faucigny Massif, Haute-Savoie, France
The Tête du Colonney reaches an elevation of 2,692 meters and presents a direct view of Mont Blanc from its commanding position in the French Alps.
The name Colonney traces back to Celtic times, derived from the Gaulish word 'colono', which designated common property between different regions.
The mountain creates a natural boundary between the municipalities of Sallanches and Passy, serving as a geographical reference point for local populations.
Access to the summit is possible from the north through Flaine, where ski lifts operate in winter, or from the south through Praz Coutant.
The Tête du Colonney stands near the Platé desert, forming a distinctive geological ensemble within the Chablais Alps.
