Grands Fats, Alpine summit at 2568 meters in Aiguilles Rouges massif, France
The Grands Fats summit features rocky outcrops and gradual slopes that rise from the surrounding valleys to reach its highest point in the mountain range.
Initial documented explorations of Grands Fats occurred in the 1920s when local mountaineers established the first routes to reach the mountain peak.
Shepherds from neighboring valleys maintain their ancestral traditions by guiding their flocks on the lower slopes of Grands Fats during summer months.
Climbing Grands Fats requires proper mountain equipment and good physical condition for a hike that extends over several hours through varying terrain.
The summit provides a geographical position that allows simultaneous views of Mont Blanc, Aravis, and Chablais mountain ranges during clear weather.
