Mont Touvet, Mountain summit in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Mont Touvet rises above the French landscape, featuring distinct rocky formations and multiple hiking trails that lead to its elevated peak at different altitudes.
The first documented exploration of Mont Touvet took place in 1890 when climbers Giovenni Bonin, Luigi Grasselli, and Achille Ratti reached its summit.
Local mountaineering groups maintain the trails and organize regular expeditions to Mont Touvet, preserving the traditional climbing practices of the region.
Visitors need mountain boots, crampons, helmets, and ice axes when climbing Mont Touvet, particularly during winter months when snow covers the slopes.
The mountain holds special recognition as one of its first climbers, Achille Ratti, later became Pope Pius XI, connecting this peak to Vatican history.
